Hey y'all.

Wanted to jump in and discuss the shared photos.

The actual failure point was first the piston. When that fails, without a Leash, it allows the motor to freely swing forward. Once that happens the motor has enough leverage to pull the plate out of the jackplate bracket. The purpose of the Leash would be to grab the motor after the piston fails and pull it down before getting e
We can't guarantee The Leash will you just like your seatbelt doesn't guarantee to save your life in your vehicle. It is there to help in the case of an accident.

We appreciate all the responses comments and concerns.

We are shipping out orders as fast as possible so if you are waiting on your Leash we appreciate the patience.

I can take any questions to my email or call me!

I have one on back order with drewcraft , will it be released soon?

We are working through backorders and shipping them as fast as possible. We are looking at shipping around 100 per week. These are all handmade and woven tethers made of vectran.

probably due to some folks making brackets for power poles etc?

when mine finally gets here I am probably going to drill a hole in the side of the jackplate, if it is long enough.

Not to be a neighsayer, well yes....

This seems to me like the joke about Earthquake insurance in California. Sell a ton without empirical evidence of the product "working." If the injury occurs, lawyer up and leave town. Remind me,, do they have a disclaimer on the website?

That sounds harsh, and it is. I just wish they would "prove" it works and not sell a product based on the emotions of an extremely remote event.

Not to be devils advocate, well yes....

Not that remote of an event- and once could save a life. I've never been thrown from my boat in 40+ years of fishing, but there's a law requiring me to attach a kill switch and I do.

American company that I don't mind supporting with what I consider to be cheap ROI if it does happen.

And it may sound harsh- you don't have to buy it.

What is it about The Leash that makes people on here so angry? There's been a few interviews from guys who run one who said they hit an underwater obstruction and the Leash worked as designed. If you don't want to buy one, then don't.

the tff hate is strong for many things

like JJ, Milliken and FFS (forward facing sonar)

And Mailmen

My wife bought one for my new motor…after seeing pics of the latest accident. She said it was for her piece of mind. Not necessarily mine. She said it was inexpensive compared to a new reel. (I got her trained on the CTSV).

I will say I think it doesn’t fit my 150 SHO very well. Excess slack, IMO. But, the workmanship seems pretty good. All in all, I’d give this product about a “B-“. If it fit better, I’d give it an “A”. The Red heat shrink is kinda pink…

All in all, eh…..take it or leave it for me. But I have one and my wife is happier. You know what they say about “happy wife…?

Thinking the same thing because with the other incident that happened the jackplate snapped

Steez,

Thanks for the review.

To help with the slack, you can mount your leash bolts on a lower setting to help take some of that out.

Here is an install video.

The hate for him is well deserved

It’s in the lowest hole. I’ve even tried inverting the bracket. It is what it is.
