Disclaimer : We receive a ton of emails and messages from people telling us we filmed them at the ramp this past weekend and they want to know when the video will air. This is not a question we can typically answer. We film from three or more ramps every week and have a massive back log of content and sometime it could be weeks or months after an event occurs before we air the video. We put stuff out as fast as we can but we only air three videos a week and in a typical weekend get 6-10 episodes worth of content meaning we get content faster then we can air it. Thanks for watching and just be sure to keep watching looking for your content it will air but probably not immediately after it happens!

Leaving the motor revved while you secure it also undermines the end of the ramp and you end up with a huge pothole and possibly the end of the ramp sinking. That's why most ramps ban this practice.

[@vicb.2708]

Once on a correctly placed trailer and against the stop, the throttles can be greatly reduced while strapping it down.

[@buzzpoluchi3217]

When about to "climb" the trailer if you trim up it will not only prevent a ramp washout but it will lift the bow, making the process much easier.

[@JonR35]

The power on destroys the end of the ramps and makes it a cliff hence when trailers get stuck

[@nodayatthebeach]

That guy leaving his motor running to hook up. That's how ramps get destroyed because it blows the bottom out at the end of the ramp. Eventually leaves a hole so at low tide sometimes trailers get stuck in it. Don't get caught doing that up north!

[@innerzen4206]

Yep!

[@luxorbill269]

Please don't do it at any ramp! Newport oregon ramp is dangerous at low tide due to drop off at end of ramp. Guy with brand new off shore got rear axle of 3 axle trailer stuck. Had to call tow to get entire truck and trailer off ramp. What a mess

[@craigkaschan4822]

Here in Australia there are signs at a lot of ramps telling you not to power on the trailer cause it washes out the end of the ramp creating a drop off. Very frowned upon doing this.

[@reibenny]

Looks like Capt. Morgan had a few Capt. Morgans today

[@robertothmer7137]

I have a 16' stern drive and will do something similar but only with enough RPM to prevent the boat from slipping backwards. Once I have the boat hooked I shut it down, trim up then winch it the last foot or so. 3 minutes or less to make way for the next guy.

[@rob4870]

In my experience, you really only need to keep power on while connecting the bow hook when you have a roller trailer. With my bunk trailer, I've never had the boat slide once.

[@nodayatthebeach]

Exactly, you should never have to do this with a bunk trailer.

[@vicb.2708]

@@nodayatthebeach Yep!

[@saberridge6867]

The first guy that fell proves my point that Flip-Flops are the work of the Devil. More people trip in them

[@MichaelLyons-h4i]

I do the same thing solo loading I leave it in gear reach over the bow and hook the winch strap up. But I also have a full roller trailer so you pretty much have to.

[@darryle.845]

I have a 21 foot center console and have to leave my boat in gear once I get to the bow stop to keep it from falling back if disengaged so I can secure it to the trailer with the winch where I want it. I do it all the time when I'm alone.

[@TOM-C.]

As a bystander I could care less, but when considering the problem of eroding the end of the ramps that others have stated below, it's a no brainer to not do it! As far as the boat somehow getting lose, and running wild, that would be somewhat rare so again, I wouldn't do it, but you do you.👍😎✌🗽

[@matthurley921]

Some just don’t know how to load a boat..I’ve never had to power up like that..first trip out you should take the time to learn where to have your trailer to load properly..

[@CaptRD]

Would you quote the exact law that you say he’s breaking? I would agree that this is not the best scenario, but I question your comment about a violation here.

[@davefisher5196]

depends on the boat ramp, I do it with a steep ramp, other wise the boat slides right back into the water

[@ylilycam]

@.33....."Dammit! that's right, i could do that 20 years ago! Now i remember

[@cpovey1]

Boat with power-on. There was someone still on the boat. He should have powered on, then had her stand-by on the helm for emergencies, while he played with the trailer.

[@therealsoz3424]

If the ramp is exceptionally steep I use the motor in gear to keep the boat from sliding backward but you don’t have to create a wake to do that. That guy over did it a little.

[@danielwright7805]

Power ons are great if you're not an idiot like that. Especially with a power pole on it that can hold it in place.

[@innerzen4206]

Get yourself a gators profile picture then your opinion will matter.... Until then.... GET OUT OF HEAAAA!!! 😏

[@shawnathon60]

Can we call that a Flip-flop Drop?

[@fishcop076]

With the hull firmly on the bunks and in process of hooking up to the trailer he is not in violation under the regulation: Operator Requirement: An individual operating a covered recreational vessel shall use an engine cut-off switch link while operating on plane or above displacement speed.

[@Jimmy-nv7mn]

Only needs to wear the safety kill switch lanyard when operating above displacement speed ie. on a plane

[@jn6011]

Technically correct but they assumed people wouldn't be using very much power while docking or trailering.

[@drkwlsk]

The safety lanyard rule applies when you are vesseling, not at a boat ramp

[@michaelmalone6858]

I power load my boat like that, have for years. Never had a problem on my central Florida lakes.

[@MausMasher54]

Could have gone airborne too....

[@vicb.2708]

@1:00 did he step on a pop-top?🤭

[@danieldunn573]

The only time i "power on" is when i idle it to the trailer. Never give it power to force the boat on

[@bobgreenhalgh7324]

Is he in a u haul truck.

[@mmmemgggg617]

Does anyone use fender anymore?

[@buzzpoluchi3217]

Power loading is the ONLY time you can leave the helm with the drive in gear. Don't leave the boat like that guy did, though.

[@jmvanick]

worst part of power loading boats is that you wash out the bottom of the ramp and create a big hump for someone else to hit with the lower unit.

[@chrisogburn6364]

How do you wash out concrete

[@jmvanick]

@@chrisogburn6364 the concrete only goes so far... past that is sand or silt...

[@dachshunddadbob6765]

That first boat had 3 300's. Wonder if he was above the max power rating? If so, wonder how he got insurance on it?

[@fastwin493]

dachshunddad that boat with the triple 300's... IS LIKELY NOT over powered! It was most certainly rigged by a marine dealership. It is illegally unwise for any dealership, to install power above a boat's rating plate. (I've tried to slightly over power a boat purchase in the past!) But, if he (separately after an un-powered boat purchase), installed & rigged the engines (which is highly unlikely in most cases), then he WOULD BE IN LEGAL VIOLATION if officially discovered! And, his boat insurance coverage would be null & void if he ever had to make any sort of claim! 😊 Plus, I am fairly certain, most all insurance companies know what the power & capacity ratings are for each boat manufacturer & their models, before they will insure any boat.

[@JamesBrey-i8y]

😱😱😱

[@kirkward1055]

That is exactly how you keep your truck from going into the ramp lol, wtf?

[@richstiner7404]

Powerloading like that can create debris piles on the ramp, can damage the ramp, and will absolutely prevent the next boat from docking. It's inconsiderate to other boaters, and VERY inconsiderate if others have to watch you get hurt or they have to perform a rescue.

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

If you're solo, the line should be tied up loosely (close to the bitter end) before you go back to your truck and back it down further. 6:40 could become a googan. I don't think it should be done. Water can have a powerful and unforgiving force.

[@tomm2271]

I've been powering on alone like that for +20 years. I actually jump over the bow onto the trailer , hook and crank then jump back in . Not a big deal if you know what you're doing. - you're dramatizing

[@bassblair11]

If you need to power you boat on like that, then maybe you shouldn't be loading a boat lmao

[@doug6191]

6:54 - That female's name is "Nobody". I'm not sure why Nobody didn't help. 🤷‍♂️

[@FourMaxK1]

That should be prohibited for structural & safety reasons.

[@glennjanello2198]

It's a no. Not safe in any way

[@asilvaphotography]

You're too petty!

[@roberthurtado2396]

Hey hey hey Im a teacher I show my kids this $#@! !!! // Not a fan of leaving the engine on and no one is on the boat.

[@martipeavey7765]

I never allow people to wear flip flops when boarding or getting off my boat. Flip flops are dangerous with boats. And if that other guy is a teacher, I hope he teaches English or P.E. because he absolutely sucked at approaching the dock. He should know to turn his props toward the dock and give a little reverse to bring him alongside. Sheesh.
