SPARE DRAIN PLUG
Quote from: cudakidd53 on May 25, 2017, 01:48:02 PMSPARE DRAIN PLUGYes, I keep one in the glove box of the boat, with a wrench, in case I'm careless and do forget and I'm out on the water. Happened to my neighbor, nearly sunkSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Spare drainplug, checkspotlight, checkDrysuit... maybe in the future, but we're just putting around for now in the bay. labor day weekend we'll be running out to deception pass and Roache Harbor w/ my dad and uncle. might want it for that trip.

When we were going out every weekend, fishing, we always pulled up on the beach...just made sure it had sand and not rock, and we had one of those rubber keel protectors like Tex showed. Never had an issue. (2 different boats, a 19' and a 17')Maybe all you have is rock in your area?
when the tide is low, it's not terrible. fairly sandy and plausible, but when it's in, from the sand line to the bulkhead is about 50 ft and the rise is only about 4 ft. my draft is 3 or so, and the outboard is level with the keel at full lift for trailering. with my inexperience, the last thing I needed was to run aground, damage it or worse, tip it. I've got the anchor, but Sophie's Nana who came along with us for the maiden voyage has had a stroke and has permanent tone in her leg, to where she can't bend it at the knee, i.e. can't swim. with more maneuvering experience I may at some point allow myself to bring it closer into shore, but at that time I was just to paranoid.
