Why is there more risk of damaging the prop on a mono than on a cat?
Because most sail drive props are rubber hub, outboard style, props. When they are wrapped, the hub gets sun and the prop fails permanently soon thereafter. Most monohulls have props that are not rubber hubbed and are, this, less likely to suffer expen$ive damage.
That’s I tidbit of worthless information from our anonymous friend.
Let’s see, with a line fouled in the prop we may have damaged the hub on a saildrive propeller and you have a couple hundred pressing a new one in.
OR
On a straight inboard found on most mono’s The same line bends the shaft that takes out the cutlass bearing, maybe bends the strut and may have bent the rudder post. A couple thousand at least.
Geeez
