Thats why there was a safety feature on the pistol..it needed a running distance of atleast 250m.So it would not arm with the winding of the contact pistol alone, it needed both the engine and the winding of the contact pistol before it would arm. No captain would have a primed engine running whilst in the tube.

IIRC the impellar had a 'resistance factor' built into it's design so that it couldn't turn until the eel was travelling faster than 'X' knots (almost certainly faster than the boat could achieve underwater)
