Friend of mine sent me this picture, local want-to-be found out the rocks move around in Baffin overnight. He said it happened Saturday.
That rock took the Mercury right off the transom.

I feel sorry for those guys, but considering the obvious investment, I'm sure they're heavily insured. I've never owned a boat worth insuring and I've never had on the same kind of shirt as everyone else on board.

Looks like he is marking it on his GPS.

Is that what they call collateral damage, the motor not the shirts?

Hope all onboard were unscathed.

ouch. that is my biggest fear about Baffin. but that's where my boat spends 99% of its time. hope that was insured. that's a quick 15-20K loss.

Looks like a good reason to not have the motor locked down. Unless one is revving hard in reverse, it ain't needed anyway.

Every outboard that I've used had a lock/unlock tab, switch, whatever. Are there some that don't? Then again, I have no time with anything over a 115 HP.

Thy probably drove over that rock many times with normal tide, but those rocks have a bad habit of getting taller with a low tide like we have now.
PS - I don't think there is a man alive that knows where all of the rocks in Baffin are.
