Coincidentally, had the same experience a couple of days ago. What with opaque, muddy water and not having the sounder on, I ran onto a mud bank on a lee shore. By the time the outboard started churning mud it was too late. Tried to pole off with my SUP paddle but all the gain from one push was lost before I could push again. Like you, I started to consider kedging before I realised I’d overlooked the bleeding obvious . After a brief aversion to muddy legs and stingrays, I was rapidly free and in deeper water again.

Ah, a keel/centerboard. In the words of the great Emily Litella, " Never mind".
