I was not paying attention and started motoring without making sure the line was clear. I also can jettison the line from the sub if it were tangled on an obstruction. </span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471349535273_3268"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Tuesday, August 16, 2016 4:46 AM, James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv2144366375"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>I am a bit reluctant to use it in case it gets tangled up.
