Before you launch at Schoolhouse
- 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.
- Wet concrete is slippery: at Schoolhouse, brake on and transmission in park before you leave the driver's seat.
- Winch the boat on when you leave Schoolhouse, because prop wash from power loading undermines the concrete.
- Clean, drain and dry your boat and trailer before you leave Schoolhouse, so invasive mussels and plants don't travel to the next lake.
