Bad instructions

She was just following instructions.
Never Again Will I Ask My Wife to Launch The Boat!!!!

Make sure that you properly explain the situation. Telling her that the the hitch needs to barely touch the water is not always descriptive enough.

LOL I was on the south end of dale hollow lake once at a ramp and saw someone trying to launch and they forgot to unstrap the boat from the trailer rofl

aikenyounggun · 07-02-09, 12:39 PM

yeah that is pretty funny... there are some funny pics out there of people tryin to put boats in

i think the funniest thing i ever seen at a boat ramp was 2 rich kids run an engine on really nice ski boat for like 10 minutes....... no water hooked up to it... oops

nofearengineer · 07-02-09, 12:43 PM

I still think it was pretty funny, me trying to figure out why my engine wouldn't start for 15 minutes, and the kill switch was pulled.

At least I didn't have to be pulled out of the drink heh.

Been there, done that--along with a few other things.
We all (me included) laugh at these things, but if you load or unload a boat enough times--YOU WILL SCREW UP.

But it's still all in good fun.

yep, launched mine a few weeks back and didn't have the plug in it. didn't know it til i got wet feet. thank god for bilge pumps.

Abu,

I also did that about a month ago. Since I had Woody in my boat the week prior, and he pulled my plug and gave it to me, it sort of threw off my routine, and I forgot to put it back in.

Thank God somehow I realized something wasn't quite right after I launched the boat. Good think I always check my bilge pump at launch. It was pumping like mad.
