KHOU: Dozen-plus large boats blown/surged onto I-45, blocking southbound access onto Galveston.
One 45 footer was actually still running while on the freeway. No persons on board, key missing. I’m not liking the implications of that....
Running without the key in it?
The boats I know have a strap from the key to the driver so that if the driver goes overboard, the boat stops instead of running away from or over the driver...
I know a lot of people who don’t use it, but I thought if the key came out the boat would turn off.
Must have a closed cooling system for the engine; maybe they’re compulsory these days.
