Non binary boaters

[Muttondressedaslamb]

I know that this might not be politically correct but I couldn't resist. Someone sent me a picture of restroom doors in a marina. Women were Inboards and men were Outboards. Should there be a third for transgender/non-binary? If so, should it be called stern drive?

Riotous !

And why not ? ? ? We have male and female threads, male and female plugs, and male and female hydraulic connectors.

Male and female washrooms are only logical.

My wife is more direct. Regardless of one's gender identity, bathrooms are designed for either Penis, or No Penis. Outboard /Inboard is just a more polite, and somewhat indirect version.

No beating around the bush there .......................

Oops, that didn't quite come out right, did it ?

Non binary would just use whichever is empty.

I just wouldn’t want those sharp looking fish teeth anywhere near my outboard.

YIPES ! A run in with dentures like that could very quickly turn your long shaft outboard into a short shaft unit. A very short shaft indeed.

Hybrid?

A very short shaft indeed.

Would the equivalent would be a saildrive?

Considering their reputation for failure, being the equivalency of a very short shaft would make sense.

On a serious note... Our marina has had inboard outboard signs on its washrooms since it was built.

Is this not common marina humour ?

I would say something, but the cat got my tongue

According to the specs of most outboard manufacturers, that would still leave you with 15 inches. More than enough to go deep without risk of cavitation

A marina without potty humor and cursing is like alcohol free beer. Just doesn't fit the image

Mostly what I have seen was "Buoys" and "Gulls". I have been to a dog-friendly restaurant that had "Pointers' and "Setters".

That beer idea is shifting though.

Corona Sunbrew is the perfect beer for general marina use. For example: safer climbing extension ladders when the boat is on the hard

Likely decreases horrible dad bod affliction too.

Corona needs to hire me to create an ad campaign.

Full disclosure... My fave beer has 10% alcohol by a fantastic brewery in Quebec.

Let's keep this thread going. Maybe we can aspire to a SA thread.

Good Lord man, that would work out to be a short shaft outboard with ED.

Just wondering what is an SA thread
