John;

Know what you mean about grounding a wing!!! I have found some things
that do help. A wing won't bury itself as deep as a plain fin. This
usually bring the boat upa little more level. If you get the sais down
and the engine started ( Hopefully) you can turn about (The way you came
in) This usually does bring the boat back to a level attitude. With luck
you aren't buried to deep and rocking the boat fore and aft lets you
creep back out!

It has worked for me a couple of times BUT its' scares the **** out of
me. DON"T BURY A WHEEL KEEL!!.
