I would think a full keeled boat would be less likely. If that's yours and you sail the Gulf south, draft would be my concern more than warps. I like them with a keel hung rudder.

Why make it difficult. It might pay to try the line on a winch, while in neutral prior to trying bumping it in reverse with the starter. In all likelihood it's going to require getting wet.
