Same problem with our boats. Vickie has a mariner Elan and I have an Express. It's a long-long ways from the toggle to the deck bungies. Neither boat has deck lines in the classic sense. Thankfully, both the standard bow lines that come with the boats and slightly enhanced quick release tow system I now have on them solve the problem. Without them it's very risky to pull the boat past the bow toggle and stopping at the bow toggle doesn't come close to doing the job. The cockpit is just too far to the rear. I'm not familiar with the viscosity of pigsnot because in SoCal we usually use just plain snot. Both of these boats are definitely slicker than (plain) snot when wet. Steve Brown -----Original Message----- The only time I remember having trouble was on a long homemade wood kayak. I couldn't reach from the toggle to the cockpit, and the middle section was slicker than pigsnot.
