A fwe years ago out at the Canyons, one fellow had the misfortune to
wrap his anchor line around his prop shafts and pulled out both struts
resulting in losing the shafts. Water started pouring in, but a
couple of boats close to him got there quickly - they ran lines under
the stern and held the boat up until they could plug the shaft holes
and get additional pumps into the hull.

Actually brought the cripple back to a point where they met Sea//Tow
half way.

Pretty cool.


If he had had a notched transom and some outdoor motors, he could have
reached over and cut the ropes outa the props with his 11" filet knife.
You take an inboard offshore, you take your chances, I suppose.

Speaking of filet knife, I'm going fishing. Not catching, necessarily.
Fishing.

Bye.
