[QUOTE="boguesounder, post: 394674, member: 15381"] I kayak a fair amount. There is a reentry technique that some people use if their roll fails using a "paddle float". You can google up on paddle float rentry to get a sense of what is involved. Essentially an inflatable bag attached to your paddle serving as sponson. Seems you could use the same paddle float with a longer pole. You could even use an interlude as a float. Cheap and worth a shot...in the shallows first. The float is remarkably buoyant. I think it would be far superior to trying to pull up over the side. Though I agree that transom may be best - but I think I'd rather have some water over the side than swamp my engine first. Let us know what works out, this is interesting question. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jRhZ9auLtus [/QUOTE]
