It should get you home rather than calling out the CG or RNLI for a tow. I've rope cutters on both shafts for this very reason, and they have worked twice for me so far. One case there was some rope left around the prop but free of the shaft, so just impared performance so we got home, lift, hold, remove and drop in.
