Default Nh Boat Ed - Power Loading

The below taken from the online NH Boat Ed study guide.



"Do Not Power Load Your Boat
Propeller wash can erode the sediment just beyond the ramp surface, creating a large hole. The eroded sediment is deposited behind the propeller, creating a mound. Trailer tires can get stuck in these holes, and boats can run aground on the mound."

Nice picture below of end of ramp washed out and mound behind....


So being clueless is not an excuse - assuming you do have a nh boat license.
