Re: How to protect the skeg? "Skeggard"?
LOL!<br /><br />Ramp ediquette. I like some other posters about that on Memorial day. Just grab a lawn chair and watch the fun...<br />I've left my drive down a few times, but my trailer sits up high enough that it doesn't matter. Good thing, but you still feel like an idiot!<br /><br />I went out early this year to the coast, and ran across an odd looking water pattern I'd never seen before. <br />I was coming out of port and getting ready to turn into the main channel, but the water looked funny where the two crossings met. It looked like water runs past or over rocks or some sort of structure. Kinda like a river bank.<br />The wife and I couldn't figure out what the heck it was, so we moved very slowly and watched the sonar.<br />Turns out it was simply the river underneath the bay! The tide was unusually low that day, and since we rarely go out at that low of tide, we just didn't see the river.<br /><br />Point being, watch very carefully in unfamiliar areas. ESPECIALLY in coastal areas. Those low tides can really get you into trouble.<br />I purposely set my sonar's bottom alarm a bit deep so I can have a few extra 'oh crap' minutes!<br /><br />H.
