Good to know for Marina
- Get the boat ready away from the lane at Marina, so the ramp stays free for the next trailer.
- Wet concrete is slippery: at Marina, brake on and transmission in park before you leave the driver's seat.
- Winch the boat on when you leave Marina, because prop wash from power loading undermines the concrete.
- Clean, Drain, Dry at Marina: clear off plants, drain bilge and livewell, and let everything dry before the next launch.
