What should you do if you are caught in a storm and your engine stops?

If you find yourself caught in a storm with an engine failure, first ensure your safety by reducing speed and maintaining control of the vessel. Secure all loose items and assess your surroundings for potential hazards. If possible, use your radio or flares to signal for help, and stay calm while waiting for assistance. Avoid attempting to restart the engine during severe weather, as this can lead to further complications.
