The key here is drain AWAY from the water.. Pulling plugs to drain on the ramp only sends oil, antifreeze, whatever drippings you might have, back into the lake. If you can, turn off the bilge pump until you are away. The tilt of the ramp sends water sloshing around the bilge and then it gets pumped out onto the ramp and into the lake.
