Picture Wanted Pls:

Hiya,

I have googled high and low and cannot for the life of me find a decent picture of an outboard lower unit snarled in a birds nest with rope / line around it?

Has anyone please got a picture they can send me of an outboard lower unit that is bound up with either line / pot etc....

With the amount it happens - and indeed even happened to me i thought there would be a zillion photos - but none really good ones!

Any help would be greatly appreciated on an urgent basis

cheers

Nick

Cant help, but thinking about the few times it has happened to me, I was more concerned about clearing the prop before getting in trouble, than thinking about taking a picture. But I may next time, could be the first on Google.

There was a very good picture in Motorboat Monthly a couple of months back of an outdrive leg with lots of rope round. Dont know whether you could source it on-line
