Trailering

10-7

LAUNCHING

Serious accidents can occur at the launching ramp. Therefore, it is

imperative you be alert and attentive during launching and docking

activities. Study the ramp area and surrounding water for any potential

hazards, such as a short ramp or one with a drop off at the end. If you

are uncertain of the conditions, ask someone else who has just used

the ramp if there are any peculiarities to the area.

Install the drain plug. Attach 2 lines, one each at the bow and stern,

to control your boat once it is off the trailer. If you need additional

fenders to keep the sides of the boat from banging against the ramp

walls, use those as well.

Unhook the stern tie-downs and the winch line to the bow. Unplug

the trailer harness connector so the hot trailer light bulbs won’t blow

out when they come in contact with water.

When backing in, have someone assist, giving the palms up stop signal

when the boat is in deep enough water to ﬂ oat off, or when the rear

wheels of your vehicle approach the water’s edge.

After your boat is ﬂ oating freely, position it clear of the trailer before

pulling out of the water. If there is no one to help you, secure one of

the lines you’ve attached from the boat to the dock and use the other

line to pull the boat off trailer. The process is easier with 2 people.
