Thanks for the video it helped me understand the process. At 67 I was given a boat and going solo was scary in away but after times tries I'm nailing it. I go fishing once a week or twice a week no matter what most solo...

You have one of the smartest and simplest methods for self launching. Keeping the trailer connected and tying a long lead to your truck is so smart and easy. Nice work on this video.

Woo! Thank you! I just bought my first boat, tired of having to go with all the boys. I will be on a lot of solo trips. Thanks for the great tips!

You put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and steer from there. Then if you want your boat to go left you slightly go left with your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel.
The same for if you want to go right. With your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel just slightly move your hand to the right. Go slow and that is one easy way to know how to back up your boat.

Thanks I have a small fishing boat. This really helps

[tomterrica]

Great simple explanation. Hitching the line to the truck near the cab is a good suggestion - keeps your feet dry. Thanks!

I bought a Droto latch for my boat last year and that would make your life even easier as well. Best invention ever for launch and recovery of a boat!

You made it look 👀 extremely easy.
Very professional video.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Now I just have to do it myself 😎🙏🏻

My new boat is a fiberglass and it’s about 3500 pounds with 4 batteries and trolling motor plus the power pole.

Definitely don’t want to scratch her up.

The guy who I bought it from forgot to put the plug 🔌 when we went out, luckily these boats don’t sink and have self draining.
3 big guys on Clear Lake in Texas and doing approximately 40 miles an hour so one point lol 😂

My small Lowe aluminum boat almost sank on me at the boat ramp by the time I went to get my car.

Thank GOD for the lifeguards and sheriffs on our lake here in California, they saved my boat and helped me load it on the trailer and drain it out ❤️🇺🇸💪🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much! I was always curious about solo launches. Not anymore.

[DWSOutdoors]

I love being able to self launch! You made this look very easy lol People should 100% practice this in places where there is not a lot of boat traffic and also doesn't hurt to have sand or dirt on either side of the launch as you can actually pull your boat back with the truck! Nice job lady!

[rhettquinn]

Great video. Good advice. Not sure why your video didn’t pull up a month ago when I tried to find one just like this. But the algorithm got me here. So I guess technology works.

[albertamagallanez]

Thank you soo much your a bad ass chic helping to be confident I’m watching my boat by myself I truly appreciate the good advice detail you do and share with us thank you so much please make more for us women to be confident in launching our boats

[joeburns]

How did you get from boat to truck without getting in water you did not show that someone got there feet wet

[tompearson]

When backing up if you turn your wheel right the trailer will go left not right. Put your hand on the bottom of the wheel and move it right for trailer to go right and vice versa.

I didn't know angels needed a dock to launch their boat. I thought you could use just your mind power. :)

[rickrick]

It's nice to see how to do that thank you

[richgouette]

yaay! I've been looking for a non-dock video... Looking at a first boat purchase I hope, and you've given me motivation that it can be done, as long as I follow some basics.. :)

[patrickeng]

Maiden voyage of 2023 coming soon ... I'm guessing the best practice for me will be going to a small lake and training on their boat ramp on a quiet Tuesday and get some experience in

[thesaltygoogan]

Thanks for another great vid, Nicole!

[SpamMusubi]

You made that look ridiculously easy 🤣
Hope everybody's safe and sound take care 😷
