How...?

I've been using electric motors on kayaks for a number of years and it's always seemed easier for me to deal with a fishing line caught on the motor/prop when the motor/prop was accessible (ie. mid kayak as opposed to in the rear)...especially since I do most of my kayak fishing solo. Getting braid line caught in the prop is a whole other conversation...
Without a prop on the Bixpy my concern is still getting the line snagged somewhere on the drive when it's in the rear of the yak and inaccessible to a solo angler...
What are your thoughts...Raskal...?
