I have a new Standard Knot Log but the little prop thing has fouled so

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.

I have a signet knot log, and find that I can swap it with the "butt plug"
quick enough that only a half cup or so of water gets in. I only put the paddle
unit in when I am going sailing and know I'll want it. Most of the time, I do
without, as I get SOG from my GPS, and that's all I really need. There isno
need or advantage to going in the water to clean it. You can do a much better
job from inside the boat.

When you swap the butt plug next time please use the vasaline in the
babies room.

That hurt!
