Ok, launched my 27' Grady White at Hebert's one day headed offshore. We get about 1/2 way across the lake and hit a dang crab trap
(it was dark and we had a q-beam but the dang float was black!). So we stop to remove said rope from prop. Go to get back on plane and boat will not plane out AND the cabin A/C goes out
. Look in bilge and see water 1/2 way up generator! OH no, forgot to put plug in!
Water now covering 1/2 generator and all 4 batteries. Head back towards Hebert's and get to the launch only to find about 10 boats in line. Meanwhile I have both bilge pumps going trying to keep boat from sinking at the launch. Thank goodness the trucks let us cut in line and put boat on trailer. Waterline was over the engine pee hole by the time we get her back on the trailer. Lost generator to salt water corrosioin -- $5000 mistake.
