Tips for River Access
- Get the boat ready away from the lane at River Access, so the ramp stays free for the next trailer.
- Wet concrete is slippery: at River Access, brake on and transmission in park before you leave the driver's seat.
- Winch the boat on when you leave River Access, because prop wash from power loading undermines the concrete.
- When you leave River Access, pull off any weeds and drain all water from the boat.
