Make it simple I take each to a public schools area we set=up cones and change there areas hills and bushy areas .

After stickng it spot on 50=times I cut them loose :bounce:

Backing a trailer is candy if you practice and earn it and all ours 24fters and up except drifters .

Being a Goof at a public boat launch:colors: is nothing more then that#-o :-" :clown:

Practice the game Before showtime begins:-$ :cheers:

You don't practice your game at the public boat launch[-( you do that months before the game[-x

Empty school parking lot is a great way to learn. Hell, you even have the stripes already painted for you in the lot. As G-Man said, do it slow. No matter where you decide to practice, back up slowly and make your corrections while you are moving. It's much harder to stop, turn the wheel in the direction you think it should go and then start up again just to find you over/under compensated. Doing it motion will always be the easier way to do it. Don't worry about the speed in backing up, it's guaranteed that will naturally come to you with time and practice.

You'll be fine.

Got the papers today. They were nice enough to hold onto it for a few days until I secure a storage location.:batman:

Hey Fishingboy... I think he bought it already.

Trailer backing school = Magnuson Park launch Noon on any sunny Saturday or Sunday.

Remove shoes and jump into the fire with both feet!!!! You'll do great, just back slow, turn the bottom of the wheel the way you want the trailer to go and follow it to the water. :cheers:

Just got back from camping at Banks Lake for a few days. Took the boat to Banks and Rufus. Good times. Backing is getting better. Got a couple of straight back without any pulling forwards. But still needs some work.


Fishing.... well, I guess I need to work on that on a boat now.
