I lost a shifter cable last year as I was setting the anchor at my favorite sturgeon fishing hole. Having a 2nd engine paid off. I enjoyed a couple of days fishing despite the failure. I manually selected fwd on the tranny lever and could start/stop the engine as needed in fwd gear. Reversing was a challenge so I avoided that except for anchor setting on one engine.

Came back into the slip single engine. Since I share the fairway with the USCG, I called ahead to ensure they didn't have any active ops that would interfere with my handicapped maneuverability. Made it in no problem.....swish!

Score one more for twins!
