Drive on/off or Float on/off??
Hey Guys,
Interested to know how you guys in the States load and unload your boats of your trailers. Not that location should be any difference, lol.
Currently I back mine in until the top front part of the trailer guards are just above water. Problem is it always seems to need a bit of throttle to get it loose enough to slide off. I have read on other posts here that too much throttle will kick the boat to the right and maybe damage the prop.
I have always been mindful of that as the boat always tends to drift right after leaving trailer.
When retrieving my 07 Outback, i just sink the guards a bit deeper so guards just under and drive it up nice and steady, always making sure it is nice and straight prior to throttle use. I then just hook the winch strap up and pull last 1- 2 ft.AUSFIRE
