A 3:1 w/o pulleys is really a 1.6:1. If this doesn't move the boat and you decide to convert it to a 5:1 with another 'biner, you get a 1.1:1. Everybody should have one, preferably two pulleys in their craft.
There is no progress capture in this system and it is missing pulleys. It's better than nothing but no where near ideal . You likley pull the boat from its pin into current and not be able to hold it and having capture may loose it.
@@brhoades no it doesn’t. That prusik is only serving as an attachment point for your pulley for the Z-drag setup. If the unpinned boat started pulling on the line, that prusik is only as good as you pulling on the other end, (the issue mentioned by FourOsix4life). A prusik attached to the line and secured to the webbing/pulley/carabiner back at the anchor point serves as a true progress capture or brake. This video, the best I’ve found on this topic, shows the brake setup in the first 30 seconds. th-cam.com/video/T1G3XmoaxSo/w-d-xo.html

So you mention using this with a pinned boat, can you use it to unpin a boat with a person in it? What do you recommend
using in the situation?
Youde better get the person out of the boat first.
That prussik looks like it is wrapped incorrectly.
It’s also way longer than necessary.

Doesn't the Prusik serve as the progress capture?

This is what you get when someone has v little idea of what they’re doing and then decides to mascarde as an instructor
youve arsed around clipped on a draghandle and a tree clip onto boat and pull
Man la mariposa esta mal hecha y si usas los Mosquetones en vez de poleas pierdes mucha fuerza
Lots of issues with this one. For a better instructional on this topic I recommend this: th-cam.com/video/T1G3XmoaxSo/w-d-xo.html
