What is a risk associated with operating a vessel in plowing mode?

Operating a vessel in plowing mode involves raising the bow significantly, which can lead to reduced visibility for the operator. When the bow is elevated, it obstructs the view of the water ahead and any potential hazards or obstacles, making it difficult for the operator to navigate safely. This can increase the likelihood of accidents or collisions, especially in busy waterways or areas with other vessels and obstacles.

While excessive noise from the propeller and loss of control at high speeds are potential concerns in certain situations, they do not specifically relate to the characteristic of plowing mode in the same way. Additionally, increased stability is generally not accurate for vessels in this mode, as raising the bow may lead to a less stable platform and increase the risk of capsizing in certain conditions.
