I live in the keys, and it’s insane how many boaters are out there who have no clue of what they are doing.

[@AM-el4iv]

I was a new boater a couple of years ago and have learned so much about what not to do when docking or loading my boat watching this channel!

[@oldshovelhead]

Lots of respect Broncos - you show the best "what not to do" videos! It never ceases to amaze me that people will spend so much for the vessel and accoutrement, yet won't consider just a few bucks for a training course. The USCGA Boating Skills & Seamanship course is not simple, but not difficult - it just takes dedication and pride, and probably the CHEAPEST tool a boat owner can buy, but certainly one of the most important!!! When I see someone fling a knotted line at the dock I cringe...heck even the dogs (K9s) onboard are nervous!

[@RudyF6]

"Florida Man" docking procedure: 1: Slam dock opposite of the one you should have picked. 2: Slam throttles with engines turned the wrong way. 3: Bounce off closest boat on your way backing out. 4: Repeat steps 1-3 at least once. 5: Get close enough to a dock (even if by accident) for a passenger to grab a pole with their finger tips from the bow. 6: Cap must leave the helm with boat in gear while attempting to grab another post. 7: Race back to helm to shift to neutral. 8: start looking for dock lines and begging for someone (hopefully on the dock) to catch at least one of them (assuming you find two that are useable). 9: Yell at whoever is trying to help and blame them for doing it wrong. 10: Go get truck and learn how to back trailer. 11: (optional) Tell everyone you learned all you know from watching Miami Boat Ramps on YT! 🤣

[@richardredhead]

You forgot: tie to the dock with 6 or 8 people aboard, then get in your truck, drive through McDonald's and stop by Walmart before actually getting your boat out of the water. Bonus points if you break out food and drink at the dock, load or unload a mountain of gear, and get into a protracted argument with someone who wants to use the facility for its intended purpose... launching and loading

[@stephenwire]

Could you add an "Expert of the Day" clip to your videos? Someone that nails the docking like it is no big deal. The what not to do segment is entertaining but it might be helpful for people to see how it is properly done. The contract of how easy it should be vs how many problems people have would entertaining as well.

[@rayp.454]

If you only have one line (why?) use the mid-cleat. Have your passengers prepare the lines before you get to the dock (unless they are too wasted). Thanks BG, always entertaining.

​@@johnpierre8931 Only one line required one end tied to the bow the other end tied to the stern. Using both hands to stear and hold the boat against the dock - simple. This should not be an IQ test. Cheers

[@richardredhead]

If you have a passenger, you shouldn't be tying off at all. Drop him/her off, back away, then drive on the trailer as soon as it's in the water. All this hanging around needlessly at the dock or on the ramp is ridiculous!

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

Money can buy you a boat, but it can't buy you common sense!

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I used to solo boat fishing a lot so I installed a cleat mid ship on both sides of the boat near the controls. This way I could just throw a loop at the dock to pull the boat sideways to the dock. I rarely used the bow and stern cleats.

[@charlescoates6661]

It never ceases to amaze me at how many boat owners think that a boat steers like a car. Nobody and I mean nobody gets a free ride on my boat, you will be assigned tasks and if you fail to perform them you do not get on again. Launching and docking a boat is way too much work for one person, unless it's a kayak or Jon boat.

[@CGCampbellJr]

The boat having trouble being pulled out at around 06:00... when it backed (slid?) back in the water, take a look at the rear of it. You can just barely make it out past the boat docking... it gets awful deep. Was it strapped down already and the trailer was heavy enough to maybe actually pull the side below the waterline?

[@Miguelfleita5]

As a 19 year serving Navy PO, my God, there should be training for these people on how to approach and secure a line to a dock. I would be scared with all these people.

You are always concerned when somebody Falls or gets hurt, I am not. I believe stupidity should be painful, at least for some of the thick ones anyway. It has to make an impression somehow

[@indianaslim4971]

I agree Bill, actions have consequences, good or bad, too many people think they can say or do whatever they want without having to deal with the results. I think this mindset starts at a very young age with "participation" awards that doesn't represent the real world of losing/failure that's possible.

It´sthe captains job to teach the crew what to do at the ramp before you reach it,and very important what to do by man over board ,cause that man can be the captain himself.

[@hanksbud2544]

It amazes me that now with a bow line tied can reverse into the dock.

[@tpaulfelder1]

1.5 times water line length for mooring lines. One in the bow and two for the stern, one each side, set to the cleats

[@internetjunkie1000]

My dad’s boat has one line that is attached to both the bow and stern. Based on these videos, I think his method is unconventional, but I feel like in some instances it’s easier cos you don’t have to worry about tying off the bow while the stern kicks out (or vice versa).

[@2betucker261]

Perfect example of people who shouldn't own a boat

[@garypio2241]

That funny , the guy in the blue shirt actually thought he was pulling the stern over and the women in pink pulling the bow

[@MYOB990]

Reason umpteen hundred you need to have *two* qualified drivers of either the boat of the truck and trailer, or better, both.

[@richardredhead]

35 years experience, never once tied to a dock for launching or loading, always made sure at least one other person knew how to back the trailer or drive the boat onto it. Unless you're solo, tying to the launch ramp dock is considered a major bonehead move at any place I've ever launched. It simply isn't tolerated, by marina staff, the Sheriff's patrol, and especially, other boaters.

[@axelfoley1406]

YES!!!! 🤪

[@DonziGT230]

Yup. The only thing funnier is when I see someone pushing a rope. The other funny is when they've wrapped the rope around the post way too loose, then try to pull the boat in but the rope obviously won't slide around the post. They usually give it several hard pulls before realizing that they have to unwrap it, pull the boat in, then re-wrap it. One other funny is when they throw the rope onto the dock as if it's going to magically give them something to pull against.

It's not expensive at all. This is so ridiculous. We have 4 lines and plenty fenders, you never know when you loose one.These people drive me nuts with this not using any. You can get a line for like $20. Any line is better than no line.

Well one foot of line is only about 21 cents!! But that's only long enough to tie-off the stem cleat to itself. You can splurge $2.10 and get a full TEN FEET
