Two weeks ago I had a S&S (how about "splash and sh*t" moment) when I opened the gas cap on my speed demon 3hp machine and the chain broke and it went ka-plunk. Of course there is that second where you see it hit the water and start to sink and can almost grab it...but by the time you reach it's already out of view. And this is in the middle of the Mohawk river which I have no idea how deep it is, but definitely too deep to go after it!
But the day wasn't ruined. A little bit of clear tape over the tank and only fill it half full and boating resumed. $14 for a new cap off the internet that didn't come in time for the next weekend of boating....but that tape worked mighty fine for over 60NM of cruising!
