Viking on the beach…

Gotta be under tow or setting up for tow with the work boat on the starboard side...and I like Pascal's theory on the FireBoy system (or similar) being the culprit of the hostile shut down...

Recently had my controller fail, while I was in a marina. Nothing would start when I went to get underway. Bypass wouldn't work, either.

I got 30 seconds into that and couldn’t take it anymore. Good grief.

Saw this on qualified captain instragram page. Not too shabby

I know. It was awful. 1:42 it begins to move. Last minute it breaks free, then he spins to the crowd to sign off. Painful, but skimming through it you can see a lot of the action as you slide along...

I would definitely have a thorough survey done, and will be checking the shafts for straightness and alignment of struts etc. saw someone mention on another forum the possibility of water intrusion into the engines due to the constant waves at the transom exhaust. Hopefully the surge tubes worked as designed.

The video as such doesn't worry me as much as the fact that this Alfred Montaner youtuber has more than 300k subscribers.
Proves beyond any reasonable doubt that humanity is doomed...

That's a very good point indeed.
Stripping shafts and rudders is a given, but depending on if and how much of water reversion the engines might have suffered, the bill might skyrocket...
In this particular instance, underwater exhausts would have been better to prevent that.
BTW, I've always been curious about the reason why they are so rare in sportfishing boats.
Can anyone enlighten me?

Do you mean they could be just the idle bypass, with u/w main exhaust?

FishFolk have fish boat design down to more than superstition,, it has to sound right to the fish.
Down pointing or underwater exhaust makes to much racket and scares the fish away.

Just noticed SplashFL's new post; a great noise example.

Oval in shape may make them look smaller height wise but they are full size for expanding gasses.

Contrarily to common belief, the main raison d'être of u/w exhausts is efficiency, with noise reduction as a side show.
When properly designed, at planing speed they create a scavenging effect that drastically reduces the exhaust backpressure (which is a big engines enemy), way more than internal dustbin silencers.
But this only works above displacement speed, hence the need for the so-called idle bypass.
