Stuck On A Floating Mud Island

[@JTgatoring]

Floating tussocks. So much fun. Next time, if you want to try; turn the longtail around so that the shaft is in the boat, loosen your coupler wing bolts, rotate the shaft so that the skeg is pointing upwards, and retighten your coupler wing bolts. It looks stupid but allows the prop to eat through the mat and get to the water instead of the skeg preventing you or working against you in that specific situation. It's helped me out a couple of times. For those kinds of tussocks, it works great, but if you're in an area with submerged stumps/fence posts then you are more liable to break a prop. As you always should, have a couple of extra props with you. The 8.75 weedless is the thickest/strongest and is my go-to for that kind of stuff. Once you're off the tussock you can re-orientate the skeg in a couple of minutes and be on your way.

Dang! Flipping the skeg 180* is a great idea.

@@brentsevereid9180 When you're in situations like that, where no one is there to help, you get desperate and try anything haha looked goofy but worked for me. Handles awful on open water or at idle speed so you definitely have to rotate it back.

Your edits are hilarious 😂😂. Found your channel looking up mud motor stuff and now I'm watching your whole channel lol

[@Ranger830]

Push pole bro! Never leave home without it. 😎🤙

[@VibratingDolphinNow]

Great editing hahaha, funny shit!! I don't boat anywhere near FL but have you considered trying a kedging setup? A little collapsible danforth anchor and a block and tackle would probably let you drag yourself outta some of these situations you get yourself into!!!!

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

Good job working that out! And love the Batman Begins scene 😄

Nice editing clips ❤️

[@MrT13]

Clip one of those cheap folding Grappling hooks on your bow rope. And or Extendable paddle. Cut your motors path front and back if it’s that bad.

[@kpizzlemynizzle922]

Bra, you either cuttin up or ate up?
