Note to Self. Short scope the tender in tight spaces.
That's something I hadn't thought about - but then I never tow anything.

Could see how in the Okeechobee rivers/canals when meeting boats that their wake might push the "towed" boat over into day markers.

Have seen some large sportfishers come scream through.
