- Set the parking brake before anyone steps out, even if the ramp at Oregon Road looks flat.
- Use the winch to load, since power loading digs holes at the toe of the ramp.
- Clean, Drain, Dry at Oregon Road: clear off plants, drain bilge and livewell, and let everything dry before the next launch.
