    NYCAP, sorry for what I'm sure is Greenhorn-Question-of-the-Day" What does it mean to release the OB--did you pull up at outboard engine??! Also Deckies, what catch did they release (and what does it mean to hit shore in your RIB's?).
    Thanks much once again.

    There is a locking mechanism that keeps the OB from poping up (primarily happens in reverse). A 14 fiberglass with a 40hp draws about a foot at full throttle. When the engine skeg hits and pops up you now draw about 6".
    That Riva should draw about 24" The CG about 3 or 3 1/2 feet.
    And before anybody mentions that one might end up with the OB sitting inboard, that too has happened, but on a different boat.:eek:
