Cruising at about 25 kph between Cuttyhunk and Westport, MA and THUD, the starboard engine shuts down, the boat yaws and then port one throttled to idle. We stopped, tried restarting the engine, which it did, then decided to shut it off and raise it. Found this ball of illegal, assuming it was used for traps, floating rope.
One of the tips I got for boating was to carry inexpensive drywall saws for just such and occasion, although this unwound from the gear surprisingly easily.
The engine ran fine on the way back, but inspection time. Be careful out there!
