EP-24 Shaft Shark - Prop Shaft Line Cutter


Listen Later

In this episode, Bela and Mike discuss getting tangled up in crab or lobster pot lines and selecting a prop shaft line cutter. If you sail or motor in saltwater, there are many parts of the world where you need to avoid crab pots, lobster pots, or fishing nets.  Getting any of these tangled around your prop shaft can cripple your boat and also potentially cause significant damage.  The best practice is to avoid them, but that is not always possible.  We discuss the various brands of prop shaft line cutters Bela considered and why he selected the Shaft Shark for his Hunter 45 DS.
