Shoot, I'm going to have to think about this for a while. I have all kinds of stuff a rope could get tangled on.

Reels, GPS, depth finder, sandals and so on. I see the advantage but wonder if the cure might end up being worse than the disease.

I'll take a peek after I get a hold of the boat and load up. I like the idea of being able to jump out rope in hand especially if you slip and have to recover yourself. A possible, even likely event given a little growth on the rocks. Easy to picture the boat, minus it's operator, continuing its sightseeing tour.

That........would be a sinking feeling................... ::) ::) ::)
