I just got mine installed - love it btw - and was thinking about installing a mount in the stern to lessen the pounding on long, rough ingress and egress. Has anybody have thoughts about this?

Or at the very least, placing it in a cushioned bag or box. Watching it get pounded makes me queasy.

Hate to hear that about your prop and skeg. Would you mind sharing some info on the location this happened to prevent myself and others from the same accident?
