Protecting Sea Life from Propellers
, 03 25th, 2009
When boating, it’s important to be aware of the impact your propeller can have on sea life. While in most cases, a boat launch will be cleared of sea life and allow for simple access to the water without causing harm to sea life, if traveling in areas with shallow water or reeds, it’s important to be aware of how your propeller can cause damage. When moving through the shallows, make sure your propeller is in a low gear, and also try to avoid reeds that can become entangled in the propeller. In a lot of places, reeds provide shelter for sea life, and removing them or damaging them can be harmful.
When taking your boat out of the water, it’s also important to check your propeller and your hull for ensnared reeds or even sea creatures like snails, barnacles, and mussels. Transferring plant or sea life to another location can cause serious environmental damage; especially when it comes to freshwater lakes and rivers. Whether using Hustler, Legacy, or Rascal propellers, make sure your propeller doesn’t have a negative effect on the environment!
