I recently tried rowing my montgomery 15 only using lines attach to the stern cleats to pull against. I used boat cushions to protect the coaming. It did not work very well so I switch to one ore with the tiller tied off and it worked very well. I rowed several miles at about 1.5 kts. I only had seven and a half foot oar and I think the Montgomery 17 should probably have a 9 foot one. Doug Seas the Day May God #310 On Dec 16, 2013 7:50 PM, <seable@lava.net> wrote:
Howzit from Kaneohe Bay?
I’m dangerously close to splashing my restored ‘91 M17 and have options for AUX power; but must wonder if anyone has thought to / or successfully applied oars & locks to the cockpit combings. Or even a transom sweep??? Just checking! We just need to clear our lee shore reef, before we can sail to weather and beyond.
Best ideas will be rewarded with an invitation to come over and crew!
