Man Over board

I was out with Xring trying to figure out how to use his new do it all depth finder when I stumbled and fell in the water. He Immedietly went into action and yelled at me to not worry because his new humminbird had a M. O. B. (man over board ) button. I told him that I hope it don't you as long to figure that out as it did to mark a waypoint. I asked him why he don't come on over and get me. He replied that he wanted to see what the MOB button does. After a hour or so, I could barely see him in the far distance moving the boat around in a radical fashion. He was having trouble making the little boat on his map goto the MOB waypoint. Long story short, I saved myself. All Xring needs for a depth finder is a 20' stick marked off in 1 foot increments, a good throw cushion and a compass.

I hate it when that happens. Throw him out of the boat and try to see what he did wrong.

If that Fish Finder was really a do it all model, it woulda came over by itself and got ya!!!

I am supprised and somewhat embarrassed that my FORMER friend would make up such a story, with hardly any truth in it. What really happened was that rtark went out and bought a boat, a faster boat than mine, so I went out and bought a fancy'r sonar than his, of course this was unintentional, as his is a 20 foot stick with 1 foot hash marks up the stick. He whined and begged to go with me, his knowledge of electronics being vastly superior to my own, I reasoned that possibly he would fall in and the race for the better/faster boat would be over, costing us less money and maybe saving our friend ship. I thought everything was working well, until I began my rescue attempt. After carefully reading the 614 page instruction manual, I realized I may not have read what they wrote, The english version was on the other side..I did find the MOB instructions,,(mouthy ole boy) or,,thats how I read it. I pressed it twice,,like it said and navigation began, I was so happy, then I realized that I had to either #1 Row #2 deploy trolling motor #3 crank my S L O W mercury. I remembered him waving bye to me as he passed me in the white s**T, so I choose to row, slowly, I really didn't need the MOB after all, it was quite evident where he was from the screaming and cussing. Rtark is a great distance swimmer, he again outran me to the bank...Now thats the way I remember it...

You guys need to write a book. Hilarious!

Nimrod, did you ever notice he has two throw cushions in his boat? One regular and one filled with lead shot with my name on it.

My story is a total fabrication which I am sure you all figured out. I was adding humor to what was supposed to be an enjoyable learning experience but turned into total frustration. His new SI was working great until it lost its brain. It started adding waypoints, routes and tracks on it's own, then it wouldn't let you delete any of them, then it completely lost anything relating to navigation. No maps, no way points , all the menus and icons gone.
I thought I was the only one with that kind of luck.

Nimrod that was a good one lmbo

RoflRoflRofl Both of y'all sound like you've been hanging around RCC too much!!!
