Yes boats and Trailers in general should come with lessons. I have seen many situations that are just unbelievable... Reading this thread brought one to mind. I was on the Cape Cod oh about 20 years ago.... and this blazer was backing this nice looking boat into the water,,,,started it up and tried to back of the trailer....when it didn't come off he back the trailer and blazer even further in all the way to the point that water was in the back of the blazer..... As I walked closer to the ramp I did notice he had removed the winch strap...... and when I was at the ramp I saw that he hadn't noticed the SAFTY CHAIN.....when He was told about it by another on looker he scatched his head and proclaimed "I never thought there would be two hook to hold the boat in the front"...... I wonder how much of a shorter life that blazer had because of the sea water soaked carpet...the salt couldn't have been a good thing................
