Boat emergency kits

[GMAC]

This is important. The pull cord on my next to new 20hp Yamaha 4 stroke somehow rewound outside of the channel that its supposed to stay in. I didn't know exactly what was wrong, just that about a foot of the cord dangled down from the front of the motor. It wouldn't budge. No problem. I had the spare cord that came with the motor, and plenty of tools. Unfortunatly, what I didn't have was the deep socket required to pull the nuts that hold the guard on the top that covers the flywheel. No way to access the rope without a deep socket or screwdriver style wrench. Rowed that bitch for over an hour (thank the Lord for two oars) before we got offered a tow. Be sure you have the requisite deep socket or screwdriver.
