Welcome New Potter Person,
In answer to keel down or up when using O.B.Motor. It will always be safer to have the keel down any and all the time to prevent a sudden rollover. Their is knowledge of
Potter19's who have gotten very wet with the keel up in a run with keel up. I think you should consider a Potter as a weighted keel cruiser and enjoy it, racing all Potter's as
weighted cruisers only!

  Hi to all of I'm very pleased to read all of your comments concerning
Potter's, feel like I'm in for a solid education on several fine points of
being a Potter owner. My question is when using your outboard motor should
the keel be down or up?                                                                                                                         Bill Licata  P-15 (no name as
