2- You suddenly had a crab trap line wrap around your prop, stalling the
engine?- Hide quoted text -

You could get a boatfull of water. I think about this with my skiff
(low cut transom). The flotation would hopefully bring the boat to the
surface, and the water would pour out the transom cut. My boat is 16
feet so it must float level. Then if the engine is running, you hit it
and get more out, and I would bail to assist the bilge pump as I do
not have a self bailing cockpit. The cut out is going to at least give
me a foot or so out of the water. In my case, a high transom would be
more of a problem in a swamp situation. At the same time, I know you
guys are just getting Harry back for years of torment in the group
And he is taking the bait like a panfish in a pond, so, uh, carry
on...
