Stoker 20.4

[RitcheyRch]

Scary stuff and glad you are safe.

Well we got the boat finished and out at the tunnel and friends regatta it was a good trip till the hydraulic steering line burst causing the boat to spin out at about 65mph throwing me from the boat lucky to walk away with just a sore back
Has anyone had this happen and everyone should check the integrity of your hydraulic lines View attachment 566862 View attachment 566863 View attachment 566864

Scary stuff, indeed. Can you describe what happened when the line broke? Did it go to the right?

It went full lock right and I was seating in the back and got thrown out the the boat did a full 360 and passenger got thrown to driver side and the driver got pushed into the side gunnel I just put this boat together with all new parts or rebuilt parts the only thing I didn't replace was the lines and these were the original lines when tithe owner bought the boat so now I I'm going to replace the lines in my baker now the line broke two feet back from the helm

Going to be getting a life line for when my boats done really opened my eyes to having proper safety gear I didn't have a life jacket on and if I was to get knocked out things would have been different and thinking your safe at 65 things can still happen lucky we wernt pushing this boat to its potential

Theirs another guy up in needles with the same boat as mine and that boat, with a 300 he said that boat is very unstable at high speeds with that motor and I looked at the transom where that little pocket is and with the added weight it's got a crack all the way across the pocket. Idk how much these transits like those big 300's

 

[BAHNER__JC]

This boat had a big Evinrude on it and it has the bracing for the weight but ya I've herd the same thing with them doing weird shit with the 300 on it what motor is in yours
