Before you leave the driveway

Use this page as a quick decision check before you tow, launch, or load the family into the boat.

  • Check wind and wave conditions before towing.
  • Confirm drain plug, PFDs, lines, fuel, and trailer lights.
  • Make sure bow numbers are readable before launch day.

Helpful next steps

Once the launch decision is clear, use the related checklist, shop, or local guide links to finish getting ready.

  • Open the matching ramp, lake, or port guide.
  • Review the safety checklist before backing down the ramp.
  • Fix missing numbers, labels, or boat-name lettering before the next trip.
