Sorry for the ambiguity. I meant under sail, the boat still achieves

losing a knot or so with that thing hanging down there like a sea anchor.

There's no way to raise or tilt it??
That'd be a shame as "no drag" is a major advantage of outboard
auxilliary power.
But anyhow, thanks for the clarification.
