The funny thing about having lots of experience and practice on your boat it helps you look good when things are going normal. It also helps bail your arse out of big trouble when things aren't going normal.


In your situation it helped you recognize what was wrong and how to fix the problem before the proverbial feathers hit the fan.


Nice recovery.


As to your question about preventive measures--I always give the throttles a slight nudge before I move. Most importantly, I like the sound of the Cats when they start to purr. Secondly, it's a verification that boat Cats are purring, one ain't still asleep.
