LAUNCHING GUIDELINES
Before launching your boat, stay to one side and watch a couple of launchings to
notice any problems on the ramp and the effects of the wind and the current on
launching.
It’s a common courtesy to prepare the boat for launching away from the ramp. This
includes removing tie-downs, securing loose gear, loading personal gear, and mak-
ing sure drain plugs are installed.

BACKING A TRAILER
Practice backing with a trailer before you get into a confined launch site. Get accus-
tomed to using the trailer in an open area. Take someone with you who knows how
to back a trailer. Backing a trailer works the opposite of backing a car. If the trailer
needs to travel to the right, turn the steering wheel to the left and vice versa (Figure
4-3). Do not turn the wheel too far or oversteer. Turn the wheel gradually until you
get the feel of safe backing.
