[@charlesharrer4297]

What they need to do is just watch other boaters. Better yet, they should subscribe to your channel and watch and learn. 😂 They make it so much harder than it needs to be.

[@ryannguyen8001]

The reason they failed is because they are too smart to learn from someone else. Most of them close their brains to suggestions.

[@Phoenix_Phelan]

For anyone who struggles with backing trailers. Just take it to an empty parking lot and practice. Practicing with set lines / cones will really help.

[@princessmarlena1359]

That’s what my twin brother would do in the off season, he got better and better at it (especially when he would practice at the boat launch).

[@Polarbear44]

It also helps to steer with your hand at the bottom of the wheel. That way, you don’t have to think backwards.

[@lfo292]

Yep! That’s what I did with my son when he was 16. If you can randomly choose a parking stale and back in between the white lines ( harder than if you have two objects to park in between) you’re golden. You’ll be able to park anywhere using your two mirrors.

We went all the way up to a 38' Scarab when we moved to Florida. Now he has a 21' Ranger. I really wish there was a show like yours back when my Son started.

IF one puts their hand at the bottom of the vehicle steering wheel, then while backing, they may move their hand in the direction that they want the boat/trailer to go. Slow and steady wins the race. Once in straight, back trailer until top of fenders are at surface of water, but in every case... some part of the bunks should be above the water to ride up onto and center the boat without floating. I used to launch and retrieve in the Mississippi River, perpendicular to the current. That required crabbing onto the trailer at a controlled speed.
