In the water....I have also thought about some covers for the props while rafted.....my biggest fear is I would forget about them when it was time to take off

Yes! I thought about covers also, but was afraid of the same thing

You have any woman getting in the boat that way and has anyone been hurt yet

All that horsepower your running, they wouldnt stay on long

Hell its not weather they stay on long its the fact you forgot

yes...my two daughters 16 and 18 and my wife all get on this way...but they are all very athletic...it is much tougher in deep water....and so far no injuries....knock on wood....if we are rafted up and if either boat next to me has a ladder I normally ask if I can board their boat and then jump on mine

Brian can fix you up.....c'mon over to the dark side

Do you leave the drives straight or turn them one direction
and then you grab the pop up cleat and just put one hand on top of the vent tubes were the fountain logo is

what position the tab in

were are the drives trimed to or am I asking to many questions

I got the boat at the end of boating season last year and didnt ever get in the water

Talked to Brett at Bblades, covers specifically for larger diameter CNC'd sharp edged props have taken longer than he hoped to develop. These will fit props up to 18" diameter and will have liners to hold up to the sharp corners.
Goal is to have them by spring.

Watch for a press release for availability.

Whenever I have something that needs to be addressed before firing up boat, I move keys to make myself remember.
No keys in ignition means I put them where I store the prop covers. Put prop covers back, get keys, and fire up.

Even works after numerous cold beverages.

drives are straight and maybe trimmed up a bit if in shallow water and tabs are about half down (I think).....I put one hand on the tube (to steady myself) then step on the tab and grab the cleat...I also have a grab rail in the center of the stern right above the swim platform so as soon as I grab the cleat I let go of the tube and grad the rail and climb on...hope this helps

Thanks for all the help and replies
