I have the same quick release as you have fishin solo. It works great but haven't needed to use it since I installed it a few years ago. Would be good for times you got a large hali in current and wanted to drift back to make landing/release easier.I have a splice at the bow end of the line I loop it through the tow hook, tow eye whatever it’s callled haha then I have it measured to where it would be easiest to release and put one of these quick releases there and there’s about 4’ of rope from it that then goes to my stern cleat which I just wrap just in case I needed to release it there etc simple to adjust where the line sits etc or tighten it up so it doesn’t bang when running.much faster then the sharpest knife out there
I did have to cut my bow/stern line once while anchored on Constance Bank (well out of incoming freighter lane). There was only myself and one other boat anchored on SW Constance at 1 pm on a clear sunny day. A freighter decided it needed to go over me to get to anchorage. When we realized the freighter wasn't going to correct course we had to cut loose. Shortly after the freighter took out my anchor system never to be seen again.
