There's a current engine failure thread on the board wherein three separate owners of singles mention power loss...not including the El Faro. A recent thread spoke of a prop fouling on a twin. Power related malfunctions happen with great regularity to unsuspecting owners who are seemingly very fastidious about maintenance. Happened to me because of a raw water pump that had been rebuilt incorrectly by a very reputable company. Check the archives....there are documented incidents all over the place...many of them in less than ideal circumstances. The tow boat argument doesn't hold water in many (most?) cases.
