Was thinking that too, found a place that will make up 1.5 inch nylon rope tether but would be much more than $20-$30 when done. I had been thinking about something like this for a while with the way I drive my boat. In looking at the photo he has a standard manual jack plate all the way down so that stump got a good 12-14 inches of lower unit hanging below the pad. The last bad thing I hit was a wing damn but was jacked up to top of Atlas so just ripped off the bottom of the LU.

Yup- I’d like to think the leash went thru some sort of product testing, build your own and you get to be the tester…..

My wife ordered me one Monday, right after the picture surfaced. We got this email this morning “Due to the AVALANCHE of orders recently, your product has been back ordered two weeks”. That was direct from Precision Sonar. Looks like a few people had an eye opener. Eat. Sleep. Fish.
