Thanks for the replies. I was worried about forgetting them being on as well. Tieing something to the steering wheel is a great idea.

my friend had little boueys tied to his as a reminder.

We have three kids so I made a set of covers that have a plastic liner in case some one falls or kicks the prop it wouldn't go through the fabric and still cut them. They have a draw string around the top to collapse around the prop.

I have a matching bag that goes over the throttles to remind me they are on.

bobkats spent all his money on prop covers and cant afford his membership so he asked me to post a pic for him.

Thanks tssteph, yours are going to cost double now... I gotta pay for a membership!:lolhit:

We have had two incidents in the last 5 years. I tried to moon someone and fell off hitting my side and slicing myself to the bone. And another buddy who ended up with about 20 stiches including several internal.

Can anyone recommend a good prop cover for my SSM's to protect swimmers? I've seen the Merc ones, but maybe there's something better out there. My kids like to swim off the tunnel tab and it's just a matter of time til I will need to get out the suture kit. Thanks, Eric

They seem like they would be a pain to put on I'n the water.
