Ramp etiquette that keeps the line moving
- Load the boat and remove straps in the staging area, not on the ramp.
- Launch, park and come back to the boat. Don't leave a trailer on the ramp.
- Check that the drain plug is in before you back down.
- Rinse your boat and trailer after a trip to stop the spread of invasive plants and to protect your trailer from salt.
