Thom, you're not thinking clearly. If you're sailing and you need to
start the engine, then you discover there's a line in the water, you

would take it out of the water?

Assuming you noticed. If it's an emergency, you might not notice until it
was too late. Also, it's pretty lubberly to have a line trailing in the
water when you don't intend to trail a line.

I agree. That's why I coil mine and hang it on a winch handle where it
is safe and secure.
