Other then pulling plugs or free-drifting, only a fool would run his boat on the Cowlitz with a prop! Remember the dams fluctuates the flows daily. River flows may be high when you launch, and may be a whole another story when you run back in!

As shown in the graph below, Tacoma drops and raises the Cowlitz flows in very short order!

Live long and prosper….and use a jet pump! laugh
Leave your prop as a "kicker"!
