The Ramp is Hungry and Eating Trucks!! | Miami Boat Ramps | Black Point Marina

[@georgebrady1060]

Every time I watch these Blackpoint "attempted haulouts", my eyes start to bleed. My wife is an integral part of our haul out process, never had a problem. The women with the guys in the videos, just stand there and watch, whether they are in the boat or on the dock. Simply amazing!

[@racerx6]

Good observation George. A good woman is one who jumps in and helps or one who can do it on their own

Ditto. She knows what to do, what not to do and when to do both.

I agree but most of the time I did not have anybody when I went out tuna fishing and I was able to do it all with a 30-footer easily by myself. You just have to plan ahead and follow that plan.

But these are MANLY men with their MANLY boats. If they need a woman's help, it might look like they're not as MANLY as they want everyone to think they are. (That was 100% sarcasm, BTW, so don't downvote thinking I'm serious.)

Here's an idea - - - Either a private tug operator or a municipal employee that is at the ready (for a "nominal fee") to pull your vehicle and water craft to safety off the ramp.

[@chris.corner-fl]

I suspect some of them aren't smart enough to turn off the traction control. That white F-250 appeared to be 4 wheel drive. But i didn't see any tires spinning. My guess is the TC was kicking in and cutting the power

[@garypedro8006]

It's those giant rims with rubber bands for tires. They are to hard with little ground contact. The stock wheels are able to conform to the surface of the ramp and get more traction.

[@elcajondavid1]

I don't know why people don't deflate their tires to get more traction... If you can afford a boat, then you should be able to afford one of those cigarette lighter air pumps to inflate your tires after deflating them to get more traction.

[@commonsense-grs]

Agree, they have the wrong tires for a wet boat ramp for sure, but it's still a very poor surface for a boat ramp, needs to be fixed.

@@Luke-cb9qf. I actually had a regular car pulling basically a 30 foot boat with a straight 6 for the engine. Never had a problem with pulling or using the boat ramp even know it was slick some of the time. Just by airing down the tires to gain more traction. Of course I had one of those little air pumps you plug into the cigarette lighter receptacle.

[@TomFynn]

Certainly a lot of handicap is involved with these boaters...

[@scottym3]

One thing I used to do when taking my boat out, and I'm not sure if it's possible here with the way the lot is shaped but, I noticed many of these guys starting to pull out then they start turning to go down another part of the lot. I found if I just pulled out straight it was much easier to bring the boat out without slipping. Growing up in Chicago I also noticed that whenever I got stuck in the snow or ice. straight out is much better than trying to turn, that just creates a bit more resistance and spins the tires quicker.

[@NBSV1]

Part of that is also with an open differential going straight helps have both wheels drive better. When you start turning the diff automatically starts slipping and tends to transfer power uneven. So, in low traction it often just makes one wheel spin and you get stuck. Ideally if only 2 wheel drive you want a good limited slip or a locker so you at least can get both wheels driving.

[@greatlikeelviseh6063]

True, and the other problem I see here all of the time is over-sized boats for the tow vehicle. Too much tongue weight, 2wd vehicles. All recipes for an insurance claim.

[@blee7982]

Seriously if the ramps that slippery engage low range, lock your diffs and crawl out. Also consider dropping your tyre pressure for mor rubber on the road. Unless of course you tow your boat with a suv and not a proper 4wd.

I had that same question too but it got answered. The pressure washing could only happen at low tide, and would return within days. You would pretty much need to be pressure washing constantly to make a difference.

[@Kickinpony66]

Yeah, that would be a Quixotic job.

[@rontank13]

many people in comments are talking about the tires or the truck type. The answer is properly load your boat so there is weight on the trailer tongue. All 3 of them didnt have boat loaded completely . with the boat weight back it causes lift on the tongue thus lifting the rear suspension taking weight off the rear tires.
