I hate getting all stressed on the ramp before you even get on the water. If there's no attitude or drinking involved, I usually give um the simple advise. Watch behind you, put one hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Move your hand the way you want the trailer to go. Simple.
I don't get stressed over just making the observation... I have seen people getting into screaming matches over it your right it's not worth it. I just would think that if your not good at it then practice before not there....It's no biggie
Most days its easy, but the days I s r g e it is embassing. :dono Dont like all the screaming i have heard at ramps with KNow it alls who dont usually do any better then
t u l
thier wife was doing, then only to find out they left the plug out anyway.
The people that wait until they are ready to go into the water to unload gear are more aggravating than the poor backers, to me anyway.
I agree... The poor backers are entertaining. It is a lot easier to forgive incompetence than someone who is just plain inconsiderate.Quote:

Kinda frustrating when you are ready to drop and go... Like they couldn't have tried that at home first with the motor on the hose or in a bucket...
