Tips for Pig Tail
- Prep in the staging area first, because the less time you spend on the ramp, the happier the line behind you.
- Back the trailer into the water at Pig Tail only as far as needed to float the boat.
- When you come back to Pig Tail, winch the boat on instead of power loading, which keeps the end of the ramp intact.
- Clean, Drain, Dry at Pig Tail: clear off plants, drain bilge and livewell, and let everything dry before the next launch.
