I need to change a propeller. Instead of paying for a haul-out ($500), I have the option to use the seawall and grid system for free. The only issue is the grid beams are 8 feet apart (railroad tie beams) and the keel is at most 7 feet long. This leaves the precarious situation of placing the boats keel on the center of gravity (or balance) on a single grid beam as the tide goes out. The attached seawall is very robust and meant to be used by larger fishing boats to dry out so securing a line to it can be done safely. My boats keel is just too small to hit two beams (preferred). Has anybody tried this, Is it tipsy fore and aft? Any advice or things to watch out for? Thanks....Tim

Tim, I don't think I'd do it. Have you considered careening instead? I've done it to change thru-hulls. Walt

Careening seems kind of scary. Most shore lines here rocky too. Were you able to careen the boat and keep water out of the cabin?

Tim, On the careening the only concern is to have the incoming tide on the high side of the boat. I'd scout the area first for large rocks or other debris on the bottom. There have also been a number of discussions here in the past on the use of beaching legs.
