I had 3 drops of water left over from when I ran the boat in driveway with the hose water. Automatic FAIL!! So I made the best of it
You could be RD's twin!
These Quagas are a major nuisance. Unfortunately, its just a matter or time before they are everywhere:grumble:
No water in the bilge, bone dry. I had water in the drive. They made me lower my out drive and literally a tea spoon of water came out from the water intake.
In Tahoe, they will "disinfect" the bilge for you and then give a pass.
I was advised to dry the hell out of everything days before I went to launch. Passed with no questions.
bummer. they ban you for like 3 months now?
For $40.
It's turning into a money maker for launch ramps.
The Quagga only lives out of water for 7 days BTW. I got the full Hot Water treatment last time up there.
You got busted by the welcome to California greeters?
6 of them out there today. Chasing Quagga must pay well.
I leave my window up. If they make me roll it down and ask where I'm coming from, I tell them Disneyland.
None of their fucking business where I'm coming from.
Try $85! I had to pay that just for the tags - I didn't even need a cleaning. Then $25 to launch...Oh, and another $20 to bribe the guard to unlock the chain later so we could retrieve.

I have water in my bilge all the time! Hell I retrieve my boat right before I go home? Was your plug in?
This was my experience with the inspection.
They are gonna loss a lot of peeps to this BS.
The guy checked my boat and said it was clean on the outside. He needed to see the engine compartment. I said Ok. He then stepped on to the boat with shoes on :grumble::grumble: He looks in the bilge and says you have a little oil at the bottom. I said well its a blower motor so you get a little blow by sometimes. He then goes and says I could fail you because the law says no fluid in the bilge. I told him do they live in oil? He said no. So I told him then how does the oil make it so I couldn't launch? He then tip toed around for a while and says your ok but next time the bilge needs to be dry. Needless to say I have 2 sea strainers that are full of water and he doesn't see/say anything about it.
I dont know how this whole thing is gonna play out in the middle of summer but it should be interesting.
This whole inspection took 10 min and then you go back to the gate and pay your launch fee. When leaving you go to same place and get a band to bypass inspection next time if the band is not broken from your boat/trailer.
Think I'm in the minority here, but IMO this will become a major problem.
- They're already clogging pumps / filters that feed Ca. their drinking water. Imagine how much of your tax dollars is already going to keep those pumps clean / functioning & the effort to try & kill them off.
- It's really going to suck when you need to wear those gay wet-suit type shoes to avoid cutting our feet up @ the river.
People should take it seriously, it's already impacting you much more than a $40 dollar ticket.

Little different when your towing a boat
I don't understand this attitude! So does this "Free Men Thing" mean you should just be able to do anything you want then? It's people like you who spread this shit. Do me a favor, stay out of Utah!

Especially since his job is the one that actually puts a limit or stop to the whole "free" movement anywhere we want to idea.:drillsergeant:I think you missed the sarcasm.

Apologies! I really am getting sensitive about the issue.
