Tips for Lake Fork
- 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.
- You only need enough water to float the boat off, and the parking brake goes on every time.
- Load with the winch, not the throttle, so Lake Fork stays usable for everyone.
- Clean, Drain, Dry at Lake Fork: clear off plants, drain bilge and livewell, and let everything dry before the next launch.
