Seriously if the ramps that slippery engage low range, lock your diffs and crawl out. Also consider dropping your tyre pressure for mor rubber on the road. Unless of course you tow your boat with a suv and not a proper 4wd.

Wtf. That boat was 6 feet away from being where it needed to be in the trailer. 😂

One thing I used to do when taking my boat out, and I'm not sure if it's possible here with the way the lot is shaped but, I noticed many of these guys starting to pull out then they start turning to go down another part of the lot. I found if I just pulled out straight it was much easier to bring the boat out without slipping. Growing up in Chicago I also noticed that whenever I got stuck in the snow or ice. straight out is much better than trying to turn, that just creates a bit more resistance and spins the tires quicker.

@NBSV1

2 жыл бұрын

Part of that is also with an open differential going straight helps have both wheels drive better. When you start turning the diff automatically starts slipping and tends to transfer power uneven. So, in low traction it often just makes one wheel spin and you get stuck. Ideally if only 2 wheel drive you want a good limited slip or a locker so you at least can get both wheels driving.

What amazes me is not the captains’ screwing up throttle and maneuvering, but the absolute fails from the dock personnel who don’t actually move the boat with the lines.

I would always make sure to fill my vehicle gas tank up to give me more weight ! My 99 suburban had a 44 gal tank all the way in the back so it would make a difference and never had a problem !

“That could lead to disastrous results “ oh god I hope so

Just an observation but most of the tow vehicles are pulling well over tow capacity.

Yeay! It’s amateur day! Everyone wants to hit the dock and get out at the same time! Yeay!

20 years of boating and never saw anyone use a boats motor to assume getting up the ramp.

4 lo works everytime

many people in comments are talking about the tires or the truck type. The answer is properly load your boat so there is weight on the trailer tongue. All 3 of them didnt have boat loaded completely . with the boat weight back it causes lift on the tongue thus lifting the rear suspension taking weight off the rear tires.

When I had 2WD, it helped a lot. you get more torque and less wheelspin.

Obviously the ramps need to be looked at and more grip is needed. They should all sign a partition and send it into the Authorities. It's ridiculous that nothing gets done about it. No point in having boat ramps if cars can not pull out their boats.

You’d think that there would be rubber mats with grip to place under the tires in order to get grip?

What am I not understanding. The first boat coming in, has several people on board, if the Cap is inexperienced, why can't 2 of them hop onto pier, one with a bow line, one with stern, and walk-pull the boat in? I don't pretend to know anything at all about this. What am I missing?
