A few years ago I was on the water and we had to pull into shore as the water got real choppy from winds. We pulled in and went to the bathroom and waited about an hour till the wind died down enough to go back out. After we started out my steering had a mechanical problem and it came completely loose and steering was totally lost until I could reconnect the main rod that had some how worked it self loose. If this would have happened earlier when we were in choppy winds it would have been a disaster and we may not have made it. I think everyone should be aware as Jim pointed out strange things can happen when boating and we all should always be cautious at all times.
