Prowler Owners

Yep that's what I do now. The first time my keys got wet I was in the middle of nowhere in the dark so it was with a bit of nervous tension that I tried opening the car. Fortuately it was OK.

 

Lesson learnt.

 

I bought a peli box to keep my wallet/keys/mobile in etc

 

Nowhere to put my keys as first few times put in pfd!

Blimey, i always store my keys and phoen in the hatch between my knees and i never saw any water in there, but thanks for the heads up.

 

As for the front hatch, th eonly time i could see any real breach was when i launched in some quite tasty surf. Because the prowler is a narrow boat, (not a narrowboat i hasten to add), it tends to cut through the waves rather than ride over all of them.

 

Gotta go check my phone and keys now

I sometimes think simplicity is better than all this modern gear

Maybe for fishing go back to a bent pin and a piece of string

I'm just working on fitting a roof rack to my push bike. Think of all the savings on fuel!

You can laugh, but I had a home-made bike trailer which attached to my yak (on its yak trolly) and could tow it the 5 min ride to the beach Worked a treat

Get yourself one of these http://www.surf.uk.com/acatalog/keypod.html and leave the keys with the car

[Starvinmarvin]

They leave them on the front tyre down this way or up the exhaust, much safer

Hi I went to see a Prowler 13 and I was a bit concerned with the front hatch

1. is it water tight in normal conditions

2. and what happens if you capsize could/would it fill up with water

thank you

 

I had the same concerns so I made a drum skin cover out of butyl pond liner that goes on before replacing the hatch. it works well.

 

Cheers

Chris
