I am in total agreement regarding electric motor use only. It is quiet,serene,and increases the ability to catch more fish. Not to mention the noise . My only reason for writing this letter is to make the governing body responsible for the operation of the reservior aware that by having all fisherman with outboard motors remove the propellers from their motors prior to using the reservior is inherently dangerous and in conflict with the basic rule of survival on the water. I have been on this reservior numerous times early in the morning and all of a sudden the winds will kick up to the point where 2-3 ft. waves are blowing and small boats are unable to reach safe areas. Some of these boats contain families with small children. They are all wearing their life vests, but that doesn't alter the fact in an emergency situation, time is of the essence.  Going to the aid of a boater in distress is a written and unwritten  law. I would feel terrible if someone drowned because I couldn't get to them in time . All I want is the opportunity to come to the aid of someone in distress. Having fished  other reserviors  throughout  New Jersey, where use of outboards are forbidden, Manasquan is the only one that requires removal of the prop. I  believe the public that use this reservior for sailing, birdwatching, kayaking  etc. should know that in the event of an emergency, the fisherman with the outboard  motor will be alongside a lot faster if he has the option of using his outboard versus an electric motor which only generates about 3 MPH in calm water.
