An abandoned unmarked crab pot in the middle of the channel WILL bring your boat to a complete stop, you WILL need a tow and it WILL take at least 45 mins to cut out under the water. Just in case you wanted to know!!

If you hit one with a 70 hp OB it will be about the size of a basketball. A 50, not so small. My first one was 5:30 am in December, no tow option in the middle of the marsh in the middle of nowhere. Pliers and perserverance.

Check your seals as a big object like that can pull the prop out.

Thanks for letting us know. Sorry that you found out for us the hard way. Hope there was no serious damage. Our creeks are full of those things.
