Can the forum share their tips in untangling a prop while at sea from lobster line, fish netting etc
Cutting is usually the only way and a serrated knife works best. WM sells a folding blade serrated knife that I keep on the boat for just that purpose.
Now lets talk about the time I wrapped the metal frame of a crab trap around the prop!!

Got tired of fouled props and the anxiety of navigating through lobster pot minefields in adverse conditions. Me and the better half are also getting too old to dive in cold waters to attempt to free the props. Put this on a couple of years ago and haven't (knock on fiberglass) fouled a prop since. Just don't back up on a warp and learn to live with a slightly lower top speed. Was more than well worth it for us.
What a great and well told narrative.:lol:alormaria; said:How timely.
