Guess I'm looking for an answer from someone experienced in an AI. How much drag/force can you apply from an AI sideways or towed? There's a limited amount of force that can be applied in this instance before your drag has limited benefit. Also one must consider safety, guess that would be an experience factor and how much drag you apply safely at any given moment so as to not be pulled from the Kayak on a sudden burst.
Over the side of the AI, guess I already have an answer in my mind. 20 to 25lbs max. Be pretty tough to physically handle 30lbs sitting in a yak, but not impossible?
I'm reaching here for answers.
