Been pulling boats and winterizing for decades. Decided today was the day to pull mine from the water and get it ready for winter. Took my truck to the field, hooked up the trailer, double checked all chains, wires, verified lights, …. Ready to go. Pulled out and headed down the hill to the boat. After about 100 yards, I could tell the trailer was not pulling quite right. Pulled over, damn, forgot to take anti-theft lock cable off the front right tire. It dragged the 100 yards. Ruined the tire. It probably has 1000 miles on it total. Such an amateur…. I never forgot that cable in decades. Ordered a new tire and should be here tomorrow.
On the plus side, boat systems are winterized, supercharger belt changed, spark plugs changed, oil and filter changed, lower unit oil changed, anodes changed, bottom paint touched up, motor winterized. Did I mention how much I prefer working on outboards….. everything is so easily accessible.
