How to Put a Boat Back on the Trailer | Boating 101
Great video....as always. Love this Chanel ❤
One thing that kind of helped me was just thinking that with backing up, you're pushing the trailer and the truck has to follow. knd of abstract I know but it helped me.
Great Video
Loaded my boat onto the trailer with current was a BIG hassle.came in countering the current at a angle that seemed to work was way better .better to try agagin then to bang the next guys boat
this is seriously the best video on youtube on how to back up a trailer
I was on a wake boat today. Learned a few tips from this. Thank you.
Great video. I just purchased a 2022 SL450. Best way to travel with the tower ~30 minutes to a lake?
You could put it down or keep it up, doesn't matter!
Awesome 👍
Thank god youre a godess we were stranded and it was the first excursion, shit wasnt in neutral
Lol I love this
my friend asked me to backup his trailer at a ramp while having 0 experience even driving with a trailer. I gave up and asked someone to back it up for me
Ha ha! Hopefully now you can do it yourself!
Oh that kill switch has gotten me several times
😂
I have a 2001 wakesetter with a "old school" wedge that locks either in the up position (pushed up against the bottom of the deck). Or lock down 90 degrees facing the prop. So down position creates the larger wake? And up should be up for just cruising? I'm guessing whatever way creates more wake would also hurt fuel economy? Or put more wear on the motor, working harder for same speed? When should it be up and when should it be down? Is there ever a time it SHOULDNT be up or down?
Magic erasers are just a soft plastic (melamine foam) they don’t have bleach FYI. But they are abrasive AF! Thanks for the great video!!
First time boat owner here! We have rented and my husband has driven boats before, but never loaded and unloaded a boat. We have wanted a boat for 30+ years and finally did it! We took it out for the first time yestereday (wednesday) hoping it wouldn't be busy. We sucessfully unloaded (first time I EVER drove a boat) and after a few stressful attempts and some help from our older son who has driven boats before finally loaded it. We are still married LOL , but whew was it stressful. He wants to go back out today and to say I am stresssed is an understatement. Then I came across your video's and it is the most helpful ones I found as you show the details for both the driver of the boat and the driver of the truck. Many video's assume we know some of the basic things that new boaters DO NOT : )) Thank you and now that I have repeatedly watched your videos , hopefully today won't be as stressful and we can get to enjoying the good part!
This makes me so happy! I hope the next time out was a better experience! Happy boating!
I have been driving boats for a long time, but looking to get my first towboat. I am coming from I/Os so I can reverse however I want. One thing I never see in these videos is what to do when you have to dock on the port side with a tow boat. Since they won't really reverse that way without a thruster.
One of if not the best boat launch video I've come across! Not surprised its by a "Wake" crew, you guys rock! I've always been able to click my v-drive in reverse and back out no problem after getting as little nudge from the truck driver as you mentioned. No extra gas or going back into neutral just click into reverse and the into drive once your clear and idle out of the way. Unless you have a good wind that day and even then what are you doing putting in with the wind blowing? lol i know there are times and circumstances just being silly like hey we pull out when the wind kicks up so make us a boat retrieval video where your racing the storm front that just blew up out of nowhere! lol great job and beautiful boat! Yes I know the video is 4 years old still a pretty boat
Thank you so much. 😅 I am the idiot who boat was not in neutral and thought I was having issues.
🤣
Anyone know where we can purchase the windscreen? We're purchasing a used 2021 A22 this weekend and its not in the boat😢
I can order you one! Do you know your HIN?
Very helpful!
And when its none of those?
Going into the shop!
Love your videos!!!! I share your boating tips playlist quite a bit with new boat owners. They definitely helped me when I was new to boating!!!!
' no wonder why this boat trailer and toyota truck doesnt has 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights for turnning signals... the truck must use a '' N '' neutral shift on the down ramp to the water... never use a '' R '' reverse shift
Might want to unplug electrical from the truck...lights are waterproof, but not always with age. Important especially in salt water.
They need to go all subfloor ballast. If I pay over 200k for a boat. I should not be seeing soft bags and hoses in my storage compartments
Thank you! Just watched this after a few failed attempts and was able to get up 🏄♀️ 💕
Did you forget to unlock the round nob that unlocks the front of fhe binini? You twist and push to unlock the bimini. It's on the help side of the bimini. Really curious if you use it?
20 hours! I thought 6 hours was long. 🫡
Do Supras have smartwatch connectivity? As in, can you control boat features directly from your wrist? Someone told me that and I'm skeptical. Thanks in advance!
They do not. Malibu has the Surf Band to control wake/stereo features, Nautique can connect to a Pebble watch to swap surf sides. Supra does not currently have that capability.
This was amazing!! Please keep making tips content like this!🎉
Great video. Love the points that if it isn’t working, just back off and try again. One thing I work on is telling everyone to only go to/from the boat if you can comfortably “step”. We never jump.
Thanks so much! That was really great advice ! I’m teaching my niece for her first time to back up her sailboat trailer! Not easy ! But your tips will be very helpful!!!!
Always happy to help!
I just started to teach my niece how to back up her sailboat trailer and I was thinking it was easy to teach! Not really!
I bought my first boat ever and this is The only launching video that I’ve seen that mentions to run the blower… and I’ve seen at least 100 lol. Thank you!
is that a jet boat?
It is not. It is a V drive inboard boat
Saved my day
Is there a way to tell somewhere on the engine if it’s a m5 or m6?
The motor has badging on the front!
Hi good video only thing i would add is if possible have someone watching back,all too easy to lose track of where that one person you may have missed stepping into your path of reverse
Any advice for buying a boat in the winter? I’m ready to pull the trigger, the boat is in excellent condition, but I can’t take it for a test drive because all the lakes are frozen and it’s winterized.
Ah, that is hard. Is it still under warranty? If so, I would be less worried. Be sure to inspect the underwater gear that it looks good with no stress cracks surrounding the rudder and prop shaft.
Helpful. Would have liked to see the steering wheel in use during more of the maneuvers. Overhead view is nice but HOW did you make that happen?
keep a lithium pack in your boat, especially if you running a single battery setup.
Long story short. I got stranded a the engine wouldn’t start because the throttle lever jumped out from starting position. Thanks to your video I was able to get my kids home without having to call a tow boat on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks a million!
Thank you. Just got my first boat and my husband does nothing but yell at me as I’m trying to learn. You have helped me feel more confident to do this on my own.
Do you know if you get a service now code and then it goes away. Will the system hold the code? Where do I find it on this 2018 screen set up?
You just can't beat the look of the Malibu 23LSV. What a gorgeous boat!
Thank you for the helpful video!
Hi, I was wondering where you bought those adjustable bungee dock line ties? I clicked the link posted on your video from a couple years ago and and page is expired. I have found bungee ties but no adjustable ones by just searching the web. thanks 😁
Thanks a lot Chantel, my family and I have been searching for a 2019 Lsv 22 all summer (2023) and your videos have been great to watch. And afters months of searching we finally bought one just waiting for it to get shipped to our home in Washington state (should be here next week). Thanks for all the help with your very informative videos. keep it up!👊
Been a minute. I thought you hung up your camera(s). So glad I was wrong!
Glad to see a new video! M242 coming soon??
We should have one in November, then absolutely!
Glad your back.. for good??
I hope so!
Trust me, your vids have been missed these past couple of months/year. What’s new, what popping, what been going on in the boating world, etc… all info that has been missed. So let’s both hope so!
