I also will approach the bank at an angle and turn just as I stow and the boat goes sideways against the bank. It is better for me to step out of the boats side than off the front. As far as the thrust 80lb is very good for those windy conditions, I would not want any less. The shaft length needs to be so that the prop is completely under the water but not much more, just so there is no cavitation. A longer shaft that is standing way above the boat serves no purpose.</p></blockquote><p></p>
