- Prep in the staging area first, because the less time you spend on the ramp, the happier the line behind you.
- Back in only until the stern floats, and set the parking brake before anyone gets out.
- Winch the boat on when you leave Wenkel Ford, because prop wash from power loading undermines the concrete.
- Before you drive off from Wenkel Ford, remove plants and mud and drain all water to stop invasive species from spreading.
