Towed arrays are sometimes attacked by sharks. This is a serious enough problem that their is research into the problem.
That shark story is a myth.

Thanks. That looks like a great product if they are not exaggerating too much. I am worried about the total drag occurring all of the time. This looks like a way to control that.
The towed generators can pick up weed. You are dragging 60 feet of rope as well as the prop. I have heard of sharks taking the prop. The rope is very stiff to transfer the spin of the prop. This makes it very ungainly to bring on board.
