Boat Ramp/Time Suggestion For Beginner

[Mr Limpett]

Keyport Muni Ramp.  If you have someone with you, get in the boat and have that person back you down.  Once you're in the water drop your engine and start it, have your buddy undo the bow hook and if you're not already floating off, have the driver back up 5 more feet and hit the brake hard.  If you're alone-tie 2 very long ropes firmly to both the bow and stern cleats.  Back the boat down to the water and then walk the stern line over and down to the dock and tie it onto a cleat.  Keep the bow line off to the side where you can get to it easily.  Back the boat in, undo the bow hook, give it a good brake tap and get the boat off the trailer.  hop out the vehicle (parking brake on!!!) and grab the bow line, walk it over to the dock and pull the boat to you using each line as direction.  Been doing it this way with a 23' boat with relative ease.  

Outstanding instructions.

Wherever you launch, make sure you rinse your truck and trailer thoroughly when your done. Changing rear  brakes, rotors, calipers and read differential  cover is not cheap. Alternate ramps in Keyport are Keyport Marine Basin, Wagners marina, Browns marina
Good luck, you will get the hang of it.

Also if you have a fixed t-top or hard top the bridge can be an issue
