minus-square@Ledivinlink3•1 day ago… do you think the engine is the only part that needs maintenance?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•1 day agoThere are many failure modes on a boat. An engine failure can mean running around on rocks and wrecking the hull, or a failure of a through hull fitting can flood the boat, or a failure of the hull itself.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•24 hours agoAnd a loss of brakes can put you over a cliff in a car. All these failures are the same types of failures a car can have. Cars can get you stranded and trapped. None of what you stated makes boats any more dangerous than cars.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink0•23 hours agoOK? The point was, there’s a lot of failure modes that result in the boat sinking, which is an inherently bad situation to be in. Whereas most of the ways a car can fail you result in being stranded

… do you think the engine is the only part that needs maintenance?
Do you think that it suddenly loses buoyancy?
