The key to a successful MOB recovery is well conducted drills. Take the time to practice!! Start with a type 4 cushion and when you can consistently get the cushion try with a person a a nice warm day with warm water in a safe area and calm conditions and extra crew to help. Its fun and great practice maneuvering your boat. This may save a life someday or at least a hat that blows off. Have fun and be safe!!
