TOPIC: Towed in a later model I/O this morning!

I was out for my usual Saturday morning cruise, (gotta have it to stay sane!), and ran across a boat in distress on the lake. When I pulled over to check with the guys, they said "she revved up bad and quit pulling all together!). (Sounds like an outdrive problem maybe?) Anyway, 6 miles and about an hour later, we had them back at the marina they put it at. They tried to insist on money for the tow, or at least a tank of gas for my trouble. I told them to "Just pay it forward". They looked at my kinda confused, and I told them Glastron GT_160 taught me that!

spun prop?

Could have been Mike, but he said it let out a loud "bang" when it quit pulling, so I assumed he had gear or driveshaft issues. (I didn't hang around after dropping them off at their destination, was already an hour late getting back home.)
