I have noticed on a number of threads stating people paddle their boat off the dock. It may seem like a silly question but how do you do it? Sit on the bow straddling the forestay?

Not to derail the paddling theme but we went the MinnKota 30 route as well to put an end to the boat ramp, marina, channel, pulling up to a restaurant flail that we'd suffered plenty recently. I grew up sailing a this boat off the Lake Michigan shore which made launching, rigging, and recovery from the beach simple. Now we're launching from boat ramps all over the east coast and plenty of them aren't ideal for raising sails immediately or the wind hasn't played fair so the $99 wonder went on and we're nothing but happy. It stows nicely in the cuddy after we're safely out to raise sails and it eliminates the awkward paddling at the beginning and end of a great voyage.

Don't know the length but 30" seems about right and I'm sure it's on their website. I (and the pictures) and confirm it fits the Capri well. The rudder drags before the prop if that helps you with measurements.Thank you for the reply. Is your MK 30 also 30 inches long? Battery life is typically what? Appreciate the feedback, thank you.
