Default ingenuity from stupidity

Well I screwed up again. I have to remove my trolling motor to cover my boat. Last night when I was getting the boat ready I didn't put the quick release pin back in all the way. A mile from the landing the trolling motor hops off the mount and lands on the front deck. lucky for me it didn't go over the side.

So this is what I came up with. 2 hemostats and a tip off a multi tip screwdriver. I might as well add the part where I was hammering the tip in with the handle and it flew overboard... ghetto fabulous but it got us through the day.

Since I am not the only one here that occasionally gets a case of the dumba$$, share some of your stories to make me feel better about myself.
