I have a friend that fell out of his Bass boat, he had to stand on the lower unit and use the trim switch to lift him up so he could climb back in his boat. Just a tip I hope nobody ever needs to use.

Good thinking by your friend! Glad he got back aboard ok. Did he say his he fell out? S#it happens FAST!

The very FIRST trip I took in my new Hobie Revolution kayak with pedal Mirage Drive a couple weeks ago in Long Island Sound I had to help a Mom & Son get back to shore. They were a 1/2 mile off the beach after capsizing their 2 person sit in kayak. It was completely filled and they were trying to swim it back to shore. Neither of them had a lifejacket on or even aboard! The son was not a strong swimmer, rain and lightning were approaching, tide was moving, and dusk was falling. It was not good. We all got caught in the rain and lightning as I towed them and their kayak back to shore with my Hobie pedal drive.
