Do's and Don't's

Well after a first year of a first time owner, I can tell you one don't that bit me. Don't put your trailer in too deep. Boat caught on the right side just before hitting the stop and shot off to the right missing the stop and getting the boat on the trailer sideways. Prop started hitting the frame of the trailer before I could get shutoff. Cost me about $260 for prop repair and some trailer paint from SC. Other than that we had an awesome year last year and am looking forward to the weather warming up.

Don’t feel bad I’ve been boating for 15 years and the exact same thing happened to me. Nettles repaired the prop for around 250 oops

Does keeping it in a rack damage it?

I wouldn’t think so. This was a result of it being in the rear lockers when my lovely wife decided to fill the ballast.

I drove out of the garage once with a rear locker door open. Had to buy two new panels for the aluminum garage door. The locker door got only a corner smashed in a bit. Actually works as a hand hold so it's easier to open. Never worried about it again but still a bad move.

Well, I was on his boat when it happened. It was tragic indeed.

But I point no fingers. Ha ha

You did say lovely. Lovely makes it all better. It’s like “with all due respect” haha.

I remember the time my lovely wife jackknifed the black boat trailer on white Tahoe. But she remembers the time I backed into the house with swim platform. I blamed the house on her for not being out to tell me when to stop! Lol
