[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2893183, member: 63925"] Yep, I seem to have those "what the" moments. I was 20-22 miles off shore on Lake Ontario with 2 other boats in late 80's. Flat calm, high pressure, so we knew we had weather in our favor. So about an hour before dark we all pulled our trolling gear and rafted up for second to talk about run back into Oswego. We were all idling. And then we all were not. All our engines shut down at same time. We all looked at each in disbelief. We all tried to start them up and none of them even chugged. Our electronics acted like an EMP hit. Nothing worked. Compasses spun around without direction. Radios down, well before cell phones. Now this was freaking us out. Heck we were in main shipping lanes and thought of floating out there in dark was not appealing. So after 15 minutes, one engine started, then rest started. We all agreed since it was flat calm, we all ran back in full throttle 35-37 mph. Pulled into Oswego about 45 min later. Could not get boat onto trailer fast enough! I spoke to Coast Guard next day and no clue what could have caused it. We SAW or HEARD nothing..... [/QUOTE]
