On or Off?

[tsubaki]

Keep it off !! Nobody needs to ride up there anyway. It's just more to contend with. Leave it off and you can anchor from the helm and use a gaff to retrieve the rope.

I like em off. I took mine off, but of course Im runnin an 18 and not a 20.


If I was runnin a cuddy NOONE would be on the bow while underway. :o

My personal preference is to leave it on.

It looks 5 mph faster without it.

And yes, the Coasties have been fussing at us in SE NC for quite some time about "bow riding".

i was told by state marine patrol that since i had a rail & their feet were hanging in the cabin, it was ok, but feds might have a different opinon. thanks for the heads-up

Save yourself some time and go fishing instead of messing with that bow rail...

[msbhammer]

I say keep it on.
Tuna, any chance of snapping a pic. of your roller at keel. Wanna see how you mounted it. Wanna add a roller there as well maybe.
As it always been a law about persons sitting on the bow, but never enforced ?? I let the kids sit on the bow when I'm in the canal and also when I take them dalphin watching. Always at a safe slow speed.
