Can you free a grounded boat? - From above of crop anonymous man pouring fizzy drink from can into red plastic cup of black friend while sitting on sandy ground

It happened to me a few times that I accidently drove a boat on ground and it wouldn't move forward or backward. Is there some way to get a stranded boat back into water?



Best Answer

There's no mechanic in the game to achieve this specifically.

But depending on the boat and with a bit of luck you might be able to push it back in the river with a car.

I tried this with a high-car (a SUV) and a very flat low boat. While I didn't push the boat back in the river, I did manage to move it a little bit.

How do you unground a boat?

Slowly push off: If you haven't run too far aground, and if the ground is relatively soft, you may be able to push off safely by using an oar or boat hook. Before doing so, lift the outdrive motor if you have one. Be sure to keep checking your boat for leaks and other damage as you push off.
