Post subject: | Rolling a PA? |
I was wondering if anyone has tried rolling a PA over and attempted to get it right-side-up while in deep water? I believe I saw a video of someone doing this with a rope attached to the middle of the far side....placing legs against the other side and pulling the PA over? I may try this out just to see if I can do it. I would much rather try it out now and know exactly how to do it rather than hoping it works after a spill! Hopefully there is no worry that once tipped over it will sink? |

Yes...There are several ways to re-enter a PA if you fall out or roll (turtle) it. You'll have to practice a couple different techniques until you find one that works best for the particular situation so you can avoid a panic if/when it happens. If you're like me and carry alot of equipment stored behind the seat when you go fishing...After a turtle or after falling out, a re-entry from the stern would be impossible. A side re-entry would be the way to go provided you don't have the side rails covered with equipment. The more accessories you have mounted on the side rails and/or side boards, the more challenging re-entry becomes ![]() ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19pQMZI ... re=related https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feat ... hG4f9mMNCs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ec5g5L5oxw |
