I received mine today with the Non Skid Pads and the Impact Graphics. My suggestion is when you ship the items do not roll them up and tape them. When I unpacked them they are all curled up and now I have to try and get them to flatten out.

*WRONG! NEVER unhook the bow strap/cable UNTIL after the trailer/boat is backed DOWN the ramp & stopped & in the water. If the ramp is STEEP or you have a ROLLER TRAILER, your boat could SLIDE OFF or ROLL OFF the trailer & land ON the ramp.* If you have a BUNK trailer, a small, LIGHT boat & always go to the same flat/level ramp, only then would I consider unhooking the bow eye before backing down the ramp.
@JetBoatPilot4 күн бұрын
@@jeffrandolf5673 it is best practice to keep the strap connected till the boat is in the water, and we even mention in the video that some will do that. But many understand their boat and their favorite ramp and that their boat is not going to slide until we'll submerged. For these boaters it is common to back down with the chain and strap disconnected.

I would NEVER back my boat down a ramp if was in attached. Too much of a risk of it either sliding off the trailer onto the ramp or have it float away if you back down too far. I would also NEVER start the engine without the engine having a source of water to pick up, that’s a good way to burn up your impeller.
@JetBoatPilot13 күн бұрын
@@molassescricket6663 you're correct, it is best to leave the chain connected. We know our boat and that it won't slide off when backing down, but better safe than sorry! It is completely safe to tet fire your engines prior to splashing the boat. There's zero chance you harm anything if you run for a few seconds as demonstrated. It's just bad form to wait till you're in the water and then try to start the engines and they won't start. It's a big inconvenience to others who will be waiting on their turn to splash their boats.
