Before you launch at Lake Turner
- Do the prep in the parking area (drain plug in, straps off, lines and fenders ready), then back down only when it's your turn.
- Stop when the boat starts to float at Lake Turner, no deeper, and leave the vehicle in park with the brake set.
- When you come back to Lake Turner, winch the boat on instead of power loading, which keeps the end of the ramp intact.
- Clean, Drain, Dry at Lake Turner: clear off plants, drain bilge and livewell, and let everything dry before the next launch.
