re: Friend was killed in a boating accident today

In the past, while skiing, when getting back in the boat, I've told the driver to cut the motor and they'll say, "It's in neutral." I'd tell them to cut it anyway. I don't like an "empty" gun being pointed at me.

This has always been my rule. Somebody in water = motor off. It is too easy to bump it into gear with loose clothing or something. So many accidents are easily avoidable.
