I was lucky the damage was pretty minimal but it sucks when you are trying to hurry and not be a burden to others and you forget something so simple and so crucial. I learned 2 lessons: 1. Going slow and getting it right is faster than going fast. 2.

I used to be bad at launching until I spent an afternoon watching shellfish farmers launch and retrieve their work skiffs filled with tons of oysters and pylons on the dirt ramps they carved out of the beach. They often launched alone and had to do it no matter the conditions. I took notes and learned a lot in a few weekends. Watching this is like the complete opposite. Great ramps, great conditions, easy to handle boats, trucks with more metal than rust.. and they struggle tremendously. Educational, but in a different way.

[@SmashGhost]

Florida trailers - always one brake light out

[@jebsdaddy141]

It is built into the design of trailers for at least one light to be out at any given time.

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

honestly boat trailers are hard to keep working bulbs in. The water messes up the bulb connection, and like most of these idiots launching in florida the dont unplug the trailer lights so when the hot bulbs hit the water they break. I keep extra bulbs in my tackle box so if one pops on me i can make it home without the police pulling me over and findoing out that i had four beer to drink while fishing.... ohhh my god!

[@trhenryvlogs9638]

@@nicksfans I’ve used 2WD for my 19ft boat it can do it but just like in the video of that person spinning tires, just safe with 4wd

[@dougsprojects6431]

@@trhenryvlogs9638 You are correct that a 4 wheel drive can do a little better, but only if there is enough weight on the trailer. When you put any weight on the backend of a vehicle it takes some weight off the frontend. When it is sitting on a hill, it takes weight off the end that is uphill. So, though you do have the front tires helping, it cannot done without the back tires doing the most work. I had an 18 foot Wellcraft at about 3,000 pounds plus camping gear and didn't spin the tires. It has everything to do with how much weight you put on the tongue and how you start off, how much throttle you give it. Around here, where we do most of our boating, the ramps are quite steep (Way more so than in the video here) also we don't have that (Stupid) cobble stone type of concrete, you learn to only put enough trailer in the water to be sure you don't put the tires in the slime. You learn to use the power of the boat to load it onto the trailer were 1/3 to 1/2 of the weight of the boat is on the trailer. Left foot on the break, put it in gear, release the parking break, give it just a tad throttle, just enough to keep the whole rig from rolling backwards, slowly release the break, maybe just a tad more throttle and you're off. My brother did the same with a 82 station wagon and a 1960's Lone Star all aluminum that weighted about the same.

First one got me hot. Dude did whatever he could not to scratch his boat but ends up damaging someone else's. Look how he kicks his boat off so it doesn't touch the dock.

[@artopure]

I think he kicked it out to get the back end in. It doesn't seem like he was trying to avoid hitting the dock.

[@2l8mate59]

He should’ve asked his wife to steer the boat before he got off or attempted to get closer to the jetty. Then ask his wife to tie up. She stood around not really doing anything. If she didn’t know what do to, then it’s his fault for not teaching her.

[@tmorrison1983]

That idiot definitely left the helm while the boat was in reverse to grab the dock. It was in reverse that entire time, that's why the rear kicked out so hard and hit the adjacent boat.

4:46 Happens way too often. Somebody loading a "dinghy" backs into the water at the exact center of the ramp and proceeds to fumble around for 20 minutes getting the boat onto the trailer.

[@helicart]

Too true. My parents had a caravan when we were teenagers and we loved reversing onto a site. I later worked as a leadsman, and there's a lot of downtime waiting to meet workmates and boats. That's exactly what we did...practice reversing empty trailers that cannot be seen. I used a very simple technique taught by an old truckie..... In the driver's seat, decide which side you want closest to side of the ramp or pontoon. Drive the car and trailer far enough away to get it nicely lined up with that side. When reversing, you are going to keep your eye on the that same side view mirror. You are going to bias the trailer veering to the right if it goes off course. (you don't want it veering to the left) How to do this? When the trailer veers right, you momentarily slightly turn the steering wheel to the right to correct. This will result in very few micro steering movements, and rarely if ever will you need to drive forward again to try again. For turning corners, realize there's a lag in what the trailer will do in reaction to steering wheel movements....to get the trailer to go right, you turn the wheel left, but it is always gentle small movements....you want to focus on looking at the wheels of the trailer...once the angle of the trailer gets to 45 deg with the car, you need to straighten up. Getting an angle greater than 45 degrees usually requires a restart. For narrower empty jet ski trailers, you need a person outside giving you constant hand signals to stay straight....or a car with reversing camera...or drop the tailgate.

[@tms372]

Yes tilt your dive up, make sure your battery isn't dead and practice backing up before going to the boat launch.

[@cme4brain11]

if wedged, use a car scissor jack in the center of the trailer axle and lift the trailer while someone on the boat raises the outdrive.

@@jasonb193 that made me really angry. It’s probably one of the stupidest and most insensitive pet situations I’ve ever seen. She has little to no understanding about how a dog or puppies’ emotions and behavior changes in the face of scary situations. He doesn’t care if you are there or not; his “fight or flight” mode has kicked in. The first thing he will do is off-load extra weight so he can run fast and fight well: so he empties his bladder and vomits up stomach contents. Hopefully all over her. Then he will try to escape so he can run away, I’m sure you can envision what that looks like. He will become snappish and act like a wild-thing, which is what he has become. All this will probably be the pets fault in the owner’s eyes. Yeah, a good time for everyone. P.S If that dog is a Maltese, I’ve had several in my life and none of them liked the water. That puppy would drown in a very short amount of time - they are not water dogs. I’ve also owned Newfoundlands in my younger years and that IS a water dog. Big difference.

Stuck outdrive fix was easy.
