I tossed a 4" exhaust elbow with a foot of softwall hose onto the dock...it took one bounce...and NOOOOOO!!! ...in...slow...motion...sploosh!

I gotta buy a big magnet or go swimmin.

oh taht sucks!

Stainless elbow??? Magnet won't help Call Mike Nelson Or maybe Flipper can get it for you .

Oh , some of the stupid things we do

Oh yeah... call sea hunt!.... man... you are dating yourself...

Hold it ....I'm not near as old as Lloyd Bridges .
I was hoping somebody else on here was old enough to remember and not just say "whoda hell is Mike Nelson"

Thats nothing, do you know how many winch handles we loose in a race (snailboat) we break the floating ones so Stainless is all that will stand up to 100s of lbs of preasure. No carbon in stainless means no magnet. We have 20 on board and loose five in a race across lake MI and 10 in the Chicago to Mack...just a cost of business and fun. Lines pick them out of the winch and running around and changing for sails always is a problem. We have 10 winches and 20 sails.

How warm/cold is that water ?

I think it's probably 45 or 50. I just lucked out, Tom at First Mate Marine has a big magnet and left it on the front porch for me.

Thanks, God!

Them things are heavy too!! I can see you on the mottom feeling for it, finding it, and not having the bouyancy to bring it to the surface!!! If you drop it, you might not find it again.... if you hold on to it, you might drown..... what a dilema!!!!

I found an anchor one time and had that exact problem and believe me it is a problem
