- Stop when the boat starts to float at South Launch Ramp, no deeper, and leave the vehicle in park with the brake set.
- Winch the boat on when you leave South Launch Ramp, because prop wash from power loading undermines the concrete.
- Clean, drain and dry your boat and trailer before you leave South Launch Ramp, so invasive mussels and plants don't travel to the next lake.
