In real bad weather, mag eels have a chance of detonating prematurely. They also risk missing the boat completely as the heaving of the seas may lift the boat higher, and the eel pass right under. With a pure stern shot, that's a reduced risk, but the chances of a hit are still low. If you run it shallow, you may hit the rudder or screws and it will probably die or bounce off. You're better off looking for a better shot, or waiting for him to zig zag so you can shoot from the side.
But let's say you manage to side one up the slide of the ship, it should arm while along side, and then it should detonate.
