I had a friend who suffered major damage when a non-sailor guest snagged it with a foot, pulling it out and bending it down so it wouldn't go back. The guest didn't say anything, out of ignorance or embarrassment. Then they missed a tack in a close quarters, and the captain tried to start the engine just to get away from a pier, ending up broadside to the pier and held there by the breeze. Bad day. If it's too much trouble to move, it's a good idea to remove the knob or put the smallest one possible on.
