Playing Jet Ski and Snorkeling at South Padre Island

The Wave Runner is looking good, and great for family time together. A question about launching - I pull my Wave Runner with a minivan too, and I find it a lot easier to back down the ramp to the correct depth if I have the rear hatch open. I saw you started to open your rear hatch and then closed it. Does your vehicle not drive with the hatch open? I know my car shifts to park if I open the driver's door, but it does drive with the rear hatch open (while sounding an alarm).

Thanks Seth for comment! I have no problem to keep the hatch opened while backing up. But sometimes I have it closed so I can see the back by backup camera which give me visibility on the whole Jet Ski to make sure I don’t get it to far into the water. While leaving the hatch opened would help me to ensure I keep the trailer straight in line with the car. I use both way to make sure I have successfully launching.
