It's that time of year again where I feel as a 'towing' Club Sea Ray Member, I am providing an invaluable service to those who need a refresher on 'Boat Ramp' Etiquette. Also, please reverse the roles if there are any female captains
Feel free to add if there is something I missed.
1. Back up onto the ramp to the waters edge.
2. Get out of the truck - be sure the radio is loud enough so you can hear your favorite tune
3. Climb aboard the boat.
4. Retrieve plug and wrench from one of the cup holders
5. Climb out of the boat.
6. Install plug
7. Climb back into the boat
8. Turn Batt switch on
9. Turn on blower
10. Yell at the wife and tell her to bring the towels
11. Have her bring the food and place that into the boat
12. Yell at the wife and tell her to bring the cooler
