    Question Question for PP owners, when you have to go under a low bridge....

    that has a tight fit for your boat to pass under and the water is only 3' deep, can it be done? Thanks for all replies!

    No problem, they move backwards then down just let them go down even with top of outboard and they will only be in the water about 1 foot if that.

    If your motor will fit so will the power poles.
