I've got one very similar to that.

I do also, but I hardly ever use it.


My slip is a half mile up a narrow channel with a lot of traffic. It's
widely frowned upon to sail either in or out. It wouldn't be much fun
anyway.


There are a couple of marinas here that have the same frown factor. A
couple of them outright ban it, of course, in an "emergency" there's
not much they can do.

However, I was referring to the prop on the outboard that hangs on the
transom. g
