Not 3 foot swell, 9.82 foot (3 meters), a real challenge.I've hand launched and hand caught on my boat, but not in 2 to 3 foot swells. Hand launching is easier though.
But I agree, hand launched is easy, hand catch is easy, but to stop the motors ...what a mess compare to the H480 (only a long red button press).
"Which brings up my previous question, the "over 60 degree tilt" "
Doesn't work for me and the H520 try to take it leveled and motors spin faster, real dangerous for skin. (even with throttle stick down)
