What happens if it gets caught on the rocks ?
No watermaker should be used inshore because of the danger of unknown chemical discharges from shore, excessive suspended particles of sand or weed and other considerations. Waterlog is intended for use offshore and should never have to contend with rocks or submerged obstacles. However, there is no guarantee that we may not hit large floating objects at sea, such as logs or material lost overboard from cargo ships. In this event, should the Waterlog get caught, than the safety link will break to save damage to the boat. You will have attached a link to one of the vessels fenders held in place with a piece of cotton which will part if the safety link breaks. Thus, it will be necessary to go about and retrieve the floating fender and its attached waterlog below it.
