I've had my inboard for a lot of years and can put it just about any where (practical) that I want. The first time docking scared me but but once I got the hang of it I realized the boat is very predictable. Good luck with yours!

That's a maneuver I've done many times. Your twin-screw and outboard buddies look at you like you're crazy, but it works like a charm, especially in a stiff breeze.

God, I love inboards. You can put a sand shoe on it which will help with a soft grounding.

Conduit?

Thanks for all the responses guys it has me feeling positive and reassured about the boat. cant wait to start working on it. yeap, it was electrical conduit (ENT i think is what its called). a sand shoe?

A strut extension with what looks like a shoe sole on the bottom. It grounds before bending a prop or shaft. Hopefully. Light duty.
