>With the full keel on Chateau de Mer there was no damage. A twin with a
shallow or no keel would have required at least prop repairs. A deep
keel will provide peace of mind in this situation.
The twin-engine trawler-type boats I have seen in the yards have a keel
that at its aft end is lower than the props and rudders. Typical of
this configuration is Grand Banks. I'm curious if this is the standard
configuration used on boat considered to be "trawlers," or are there
twin-engine trawlers that don't have keels, or have very shallow ones
that would not touch before the props and rudders in a grounding?
