Ok guys, we touched on removing the propeller to inspect for fishing line. As we know fishing line can wreak havoc with the propeller shaft seals!
 
Anyone got a way to reduce the risk of fishing line wrapping around the prop shaft?

I have tanged my line around the prop a couple of times. Its been spinning in the current and caught the line. fishing three rods. Takes ages to unwrap at full arms length with a gaff in hand. So I guess raise the outboard or leave it in gear ?

Good man plastic, when fishing if you put the motor in gear in wont spin the current.
 
Wont stop line snagging, but it wont wrap it around 50 times!
