Re: [OMC-Boats] 1964 Dual OMC Deluxe Spotted

I think you tilt the non-functioning unit up and keep going. At least you have a second power unit to keep going. Speaking as someone who has waved a paddle madly back and forth in a dead Sportsman about three miles from shore in Lake Michigan (help me!), before the days of cellphones, a second power unit would probably be a plus... But I get your point. If one engine quit while underway, would it wreck anything or just pull the boat to the side? -Doug Julien --- On Wed, 9/23/09, jd <jdood@...t> wrote: > From: jd <jdood@...> > Subject: Re: [OMC-Boats] 1964 Dual OMC Deluxe Spotted > To: "Evinrude & Johnson Boats of the 1960's and 70's" <omc-boats@...> > Date: Wednesday, September 23, 2009, 12:12 PM > so in a dual engine set up (never had > one) what happens when something like one of the two shifter > switches goes out?
