Tips for Wildcat Access
- Before you back down, check the drain plug and unplug the trailer lights.
- Set the parking brake before anyone steps out, even if the ramp at Wildcat Access looks flat.
- Winch the boat on when you leave Wildcat Access, because prop wash from power loading undermines the concrete.
- Clean, drain and dry your boat and trailer before you leave Wildcat Access, so invasive mussels and plants don't travel to the next lake.
