For anybody launching or using the fresh water Marina, traveling down river when you get to the marker and have to turn to port about 20 degrees, just past the mill. Right around that area there is a submerged HAZARD.
I went out on a low tide and coming back it was a high tide, I always slow down in the river, but still remain on plain. I nor my friend didn't see anything, when I hit something not real hard but a deffinate thud I cut the motor, but it was to late for my prop. Both of us said W.T.H...... looked behind the boat nothing, lifted the motor, a big sharp bend in 1 blade, and a 3 by 1 inch chunk missing out of another blade. I had to run the rest of the way on my kicker.
I believe it is a dead head log, that on a high tide has 1 end on bottom and the other end is 18" below the surface.
