This is by far the best video I’ve seen so far thank you

As a complete trailering novice, this has been the clearest and most concise video I've seen to date.

You did an excellent job describing the process plus showing the bad things that might happen if you miss a step. Thanks for the good quality video.

Great video.  If you do a remake, there's a couple of things I do. Have a rigging checklist. I have a checklist before I leave home to make sure I have packed everything, a rigging checklist and a derigging checklist.  Tilting your outboard before launching?  Unless your roads are dead flat, I'd tilt it before I leave home. (call it an outboard as technically it is an engine not a motor).Use stainless fittings ie your shackles to reduce rust and make sure they are loose in the rigging area.  Also I only have one rope attached at the centre of the boat (amidship) and I can control the boat at the dock, but it takes a bit of practice.

Great video and great tips. Thanks for posting. The only problem with people driving their boats onto trailers instead of using their winch is that they often creat a deep hole at the end of the ramp which eventually destroys a good ramp. As time goes by trailer wheels end up falling into a deep hole at the end of the ramp and get stuck. The concrete ramp loses it's support and also drops, cracks and breaks away. Sure, it's a little bit harder, but I always think it's best to use your winch when you can.

Fantastic job describing the launching and retrieving process. I liked the what not to do tips. Even being an experienced boat, watched the whole video. Keep up the good work !!

i like how in all these boat launch videos, the boat ramps all have nice docks or shoreline to the sides of the ramp where you can safely tie up your boat. here in Missouri on the rivers the ramps have large CONCRETE docks that will tear your hull up if you so much as bump them even with bumpers (concrete so they don't float away or get damaged during floods). and when the water is higher the concrete is under water and idiots drive over them demolishing their hull. and there's nothing but rock shoreline to the side of the ramps. you certainly cant run a rope around a post like pictured here. yes, launching would be much easier if there is a nice floating wood dock with pretty white post. like to see him come here and try that. I'm envious

Great tutorial with a good mix of humor. Well done sir!

For myself, just to try and be as courtious as possible, if the ramp is busy, I will try move the boat to the outside of the dock so that others may continue using it. People get pretty worked up at ramps if it doesn't keep moving. They act like theyre late for work instead of trying to have fun. I also keep a steel garden rake or a broom to move the seaweed out of the way. It makes it a lot less slippery when pulling out. Need all the traction you can get!
