I have only had I/O until now. My last boat was a 260 DA with an alpha drive. We always backed the boats to shore using the anchor off the bow and a line from the stern to the shore. I would bring up the outdrive and keep the stern in about 3.5 foot of water.
Now the the 340 DA and inboards, the clearance is 2.5" of water. Would you still back it to the shore and keep about 3.5 foot of water or would you keep it deeper? Were we do this is on the Connecticut river, which is tidal water and all sand, no rocks or other underwater hazards.
