Tips for Backwater
- Plug in, straps off, lines on: finish the checklist before you pull onto the ramp.
- You only need enough water to float the boat off, and the parking brake goes on every time.
- When you come back to Backwater, winch the boat on instead of power loading, which keeps the end of the ramp intact.
- When you leave Backwater, pull off any weeds and drain all water from the boat.
