Putting out a boat fire like a Man!

Filmed at Lake Lyndon in New Zealand.

The skipper of the boat tried to start it after it died in the middle of the lake. It caught fire, so he jumped ship and watched it burn slowly. The wind drifted the burning boat to shore. No one could really do anything about it as it had two big tanks of gas on board until a jet boat SAVED THE DAY!

Oh my gosh. How scary is that. Your right that guy spraying the water was a thinker

That guy has to be the real life version of Bad luck Brian, your boat SURROUNDED by WATER has caught FIRE

Bystander can be heard saying: "I would not do that!", "It's just gonna catch alight again", "This cunt's a nutter!". You can just shut the Hell up, mister fatalist-pessimist! Guy in the motorboat is a minor hero for taking charge and dealing with the problem - something this heckler will never achieve.

I'm gonna call that guy a good samaritan.

What's the difference between a cruiser, a destroyer, a frigate, and a littoral combat ship?

This is meant to be a general overview of each of these ships and their capabilities, not looking at specific information such as size and armament (which can easily be found online, if you want specific facts about each ship). Littoral Combat Ship (LCS): One of the newest types of ships, made up of the Freedom and Independence Classes with only 3 ships in service. LCS's are very small, versatile ships that were created with the aim of extending the Navy's capabilities closer to the shore. LCS's are made to operate in shallower water than most USN platforms and have different modules that can be swapped in and out depending on the mission requirements. Cruiser (CG): Cruisers are now becoming less and less relevant, with only 22 left in the Ticonderoga-Class. Their main focus is to provide the Navy with a multi-functional guided missile platform (launching weapons systems such as the Tomahawk and other missiles via the ship's vertical launching system ...

Truck submerged in Marlborough after boating mishap at Waikawa Bay boat ramp

A boating nightmare has become a reality at Waikawa Bay, near Picton, after a truck was dragged into the water by a boat. Nelson resident Steve Badham came across the sunken truck as he came into Waikawa Bay after a fishing trip on Sunday afternoon. "I just saw it and I thought, 'oh no'. "It's your worst nightmare when you've got a boat for that to happen." He was told the truck started slipping on the boat ramp and jumped out of gear before the trailer jack-knifed. Both the truck and the boat ended up in the water. The owner had just repainted the truck, while the boat and trailer had been sold to new owners, Badham said. "He was pretty upset because he didn't know what the condition of the trailer was like. "It's certainly not a pleasant thing to happen." The truck was blocking one of three bays at the Waikawa Bay boat ramp, which made maneuvering difficult for other boats com...

Some propeller repairs you can do yourself!

DIY PROP REPAIRS Three DIY propeller maintenance tasks to keep your wheels turning. Unless you are an expert welder who also happens to have access to a hydraulic press, the chances of your completing a major propeller repair or reconditioning job successfully are slim and none. And Slim doesn’t work here anymore. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t perform minor repair and maintenance. After all, even small imperfections can impact performance and the mechanical integrity of your driveline. Here are three DIY propeller maintenance tasks. Fixing a Ding Perhaps you whacked flotsam or jetsam at night, or maybe you too enthusiastically chased the school of fish into the boulder garden. Whatever. Your propeller now has a moon-shaped bend in the edge of one blade. You can likely make the propeller usable until you can send it out for recon. You’ll need two adjustable wrenches — aka crescent wrenches — to complete this task. Affix the jaws of one wrench on the e...
