Landing and launching a hobie - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I wouldn't recommend landing with the drive in. Ive done twice and the last time it seized slightly. When I got home I had to fill the tub and work it slowly to get the sand out.

I pull up the drive and the rudder.

If I suddenly get in a shallow area while fishing, then I just push to make the fins flat.

I have been lucky at Baja, that the rudder has not been damaged going over some rocks.
