How about answering your own question, which way did you propel your

He already did. Or didn't you READ the posts?? ;^) Read 'em again,
you'll find Mike's answer.


Hey! I can't find it. It was there yesterday, there
was a follow up post where I mentioned it.

But no matter, since this isn't the point anyway,
I can propel the 1x net to bow. It seems like
you shouldn't be able to, I know, but the trick
is to be not too violent on the reach forward,
stop, then creep back.

I move about 8 inches to bow, the boat checks dead when
I get to the stern.
If you creep to quick, the boat starts moving and you can
end up back at start again, but I can hold it to about halfway
with no trouble.

By no means do I use this as somehow to mean that
the system accelerates after the release. I've learned
my lesson, and just the hull does.
