I get that way at a crowded ramp. It makes me nervous since I am a rookie boat owner. I can however back a trailer.. Just remember before we throw stones we all suck at something and can all learn from others. Sometimes we just need someone to ask..

Years ago the first time my wife and I took our new runabout to Center Hill. She pulled the boat on the trailer and I hooked it up. I heard her raise the motor but forgot to ask her to hit the "trailer" button. You could see the mark my lower unit left from the bottom of Floating Mill ramp to the top. She always did it correctly and looked at me funny everytime I asked after that day.

Hope I didn't misspell TWO many things.
