Tomato Cage...for my boat?

[garrymny]

I built a prop guard out of a tomato cage, for my kicker motor. I have had a rigger line sheared off, and lost everything. Thank goodness it was before I had the fish hawk! On other occasion a fish has gotten tangled around the prop. If you can weld, this is pretty easy to make. If not, you probably figure out how to attach a cage of some kind.

I thought mine was ugly. I have one on my two stroke and one on my four stroke . After putting a seth green rig in the prop I went to prop guard.

Nice way to do it. I had kind of the same thing (cage) on my last boat, and never picked up any weeds or sticks. I could see if I fished s weedy lake where it would cause a problem, not not LO or LE.
