I have a small trailer sailer and I left my GPS/depth finder in my truck. I didn't realize until I felt the keel dragging along the bottom. I ran down cranked it all the way up and by the time I got back I was sitting was stuck. I jumped over to see if I could pull the boat... but sank to meh teets in the silt. I pulled my way out and wrestled with the boat a bit. No luck tried the motor at full reverse, no luck.... a small tin fishing boat tried to help, lol yeah right. Called my marina, who was about 3/4 of a mile away, they didn't want the liability. I called dep of marine resources and the lady was in the state building 200 yards away. So it only took like 4 or 5 hours to get out to me??? It was really windy and hot so I went below and wound up getting very sick. LoL... I never forget my depth finder and never try to brave the shallows anymore.
