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 float off, or when the rear wheels
of your vehicle approach the water’s edge.
After your boat is floating 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.
