I have a new Standard Knot Log but the little prop thing has fouled so
it doesnt turn. I am hesitant to pull it out to clean it although I
knwo I can plug the hole in time. I dont want to spend any time in the
water at the dock due to the 8' gator nearby. Is this worth worrying
about? I have never had one in all these years of sailing.

Yeah, I use mine, it always-or at least regularly-gets fouled, only takes a
minute to clean it and put it back. I usually use a small rag to plug it,
the use the rag to clean up the water.
