I don't worry about catching pot lines when sailing

() I only worry about the prop when motoring -- the amas (floats) have no rudders or boards, the prop folds and the centerboard and rudder both kick-up on the center hull.
I do have a Shaft Shark and it works, so far.

- So how long is your halyard? How do you use it? How to move "loads" about?
- Hi Gene. We use
- If too short is the only reason, no need to replace
- Now that you asked.
- With my old motor I used my mizzen sheet to lift the motor...
- Interesting, what is that motor?
- Torqeedo 1003S
- I saw that the other day at WM while looking at Dinks and motors... I wondered... do tell more.
- Answers to your questions...
- You no doubt have that magnet thing that keeps your electrons clean, eh? GRIN
- Oh yes and the special filter...
- I like it too -- but leaving it at a dinghy dock would give me pause
- That is why I take mine home
- But what would you do if you go anywhere?
- When we go somewhere we just leave it at the dock
- Yeah places like BI and MV are real dangerous
- Compared to Frenchboro and Swans Island BI and MV are hotbeds of crime...

- I really like having a 2:1 spinnaker halyard...
- Main, spin, and both jib halyards are all long enough to reach the water
- I think different issues, Gene
- Yes indeed, you are on the right track...
