Okeechobee Waterway

[Tranio]

Has anybody made this run in a Jet boat?

I was curious about two things:

First are there lots of weeds?
Second, they say you are supposed to keep the engine on in the locks, that seems difficult without a true neutral.

Anybody?

I wouldn't keep the engines on in the lock....too much debris floating around in the locks that I've been through!

That is a trip on my boating bucket list, maybe in a year or two or three I will get it done. Hope you find answers to your questions and are able to go on the trip.

I'm going. Prob not until later in the summer. I'll let you know.

Been through there on a 75 yacht. The main channel is pretty clean due to the traffic. As for the locks I would shut them down just to keep your position due to the forward creep.
