Ouch!
Gotta believe (want to believe) it’s like the boat plug. Everyone forgets something once.

 

[Your ad here]

That sucks. Bet the wife was nagging all day.

 

[HNL2LHC]

That is too bad. What was the cause? The drive not raised up? When we bought our boat the gentlemen had to take a minute to recall the use of the trailer button for the drive. At the time I had no idea so I am glade that he remembered. It is one of my worries when retrieving. I have to remind the wife and son each time as I hook it up. So far so good.

How do you drag your outdrive more than a foot before stopping

 

[Rayson1971]

Seem too wide od a gouge to be the drive.

Loud stereo, loud wife or too many drinks?

 

[28Eliminator]

It looked really fresh too… damn that had to hurt.

might be the stainless steel skeg guard they installed from dragging the last time

Probably would have heard it dragging if she would have jus shut her fucking mouth for a moment.


Max Machine fixed my skag with the rebuild. It makes a world of difference slow speed maneuvering.

 

[Ziggy]

Ahhh, just file it down. That's less drag and an extra 5mph like through transom headers

 

[DLC]

Whew just checked !

wasn’t me!

I once had a trailer brake that froze up, and I dragged the tire for about 500’. It left a heck of a mark, and destroyed the tire. My friend’s now-ex was literally talking non-stop and so loud that I couldn’t hear or feel a damn thing. I remember at the time just wishing she’d shut up, and kinda wanting to toss her out of the truck.

I don’t want to sound like an asshole, but she poisoned herself to death with alcohol and I guarantee nobody misses her.

 

[JFMFG]

I’m going to assume they couldn’t get the trim up due to a mechanical failure. And they prob saw no other choice.

 

[2Driver]

On the way home from Parker to Cave Creek ( all 2 lane desert road) we noticed an RV in the oncoming lane about a mile out with a cloud behind it. A minute it later it blows past us doing 70 mph pulling a SXS trailer with only 1 tire. The mark in the pavement went on for the next 15 miles.

 

[Backlash]

Self clearance for the win!

 

[boatnam2]

Water Rod may have been out testing.

Go to lake Perris at 7pm on a weekend.

My sister and her husband just got their first boat. They love it there.

So do it. My testing grounds. Water is clean but get wild in the summer.

 

[Nanu/Nanu]

Man wheres the Midwestern farmin RDPers when we need em!? Throw some seed in there and our corn will be knee high by the fourth of july!

 

[SOCALCRICKETT]

That looks to be atleast 2" wide, wonder if a trailer hitch jumped the ball

 

[Wave Hi]

Never happens when you run a jet... Just saying!!!!

Your lucky. I’ve had the same thing happen to me but on the highway. Drum got so hot it burned off all the grease till the bearings gave out. Lost the entire wheel and I didn’t know where.

 

[28Eliminator]

It was only about 1/4” wide..

 

[fishing fool]

Wait.... You are staying at Campbell cove and launch at the marina?????

Back in the 90's, Driving back on the 40 after a not so great trip with a lady friend, all I can think of is when we get back we are done.
Pull into Barstow, do a walk around. Only 3 wheels on the tandem...
She says Great, we get spend another night....

 

[FROGMAN524]

Maybe it was this guy?

 

[throttle]

The next guy can tell his driver to just follow the line to the parking lot

 

[Badchoices03]

I was at the boat launch last summer on my golfcart and saw too dudes with an older Carrera on the ramp, they were attempting to remove the trim rams from the back of the boat, I watched for a minute thinking that their trim pump went out or something, then they trimmed it down a little to try to loosen the tension apparently, thats when my curiosity got the best of me and I went over to see what was going on...they said they just bought the boat and was their first time taking it out but that the drive wouldn't come up all the way when trying to pull it out of the water...I asked if they used the trailer button on the throttle lever...as soon as I saw the look on their face, I knew they missed that...went over and pushed it for them and they watched the drive go all the way up....they acted like I was some kind of master mechanic or something....lol

 

[traquer]

It was only about 1/4” wide..

Customer stated.. 2" and 1/4". Neither of you should ever open a machine shop lol

 

[OCMerrill]

The only real data we have is the distance traveled before the idiot light came on.

I haven't made a mistake like that in a long while however rest assured I'll make several before the days out.

 

[Bigbore500r]

Seem too wide od a gouge to be the drive.

If he's drug the skag a few times, the knub that's left is probably nice and fat

 

[Bigbore500r]

This is where cats have a major advantage . . .
Most cat trailers have the boat sitting high and the drive can't be drug if left down

 

[MPHSystems]

Maybe it was this guy?

A boat driver on Lake Wausau rammed his boat up a landing area at a high rate of speed before fleeing a west side park, witnesses said Sunday. Video obtained by Wausau Pilot & Review shows an unidentified boat driver driving across the water and directly onto the boat landing ramp late Sunday afternoon at D.C. Everest Park, 1800 S. Third Ave. Wausau. Witnesses say the boat driver climbed out of the boat and left the scene. Multiple empty beer cans were left scattered on the floor of the boat. No one was injured at the boat landing. Violations of boat landing regulations can result in fines of up to $5,000.

I don't have a trailer button. It's kind nice and also kinda you can take out your U-joint in a NY minute if you are not paying attention

 

[FROGMAN524]

My boat sits so high on the trailer that with the drives all the way down they’re still like a foot off the ground or more.

 

[rivermobster]

So do it. My testing grounds. Water is clean but get wild in the summer.

Hold da phone...

So it's not full of baby diapers anymore???

The shore used to be lined with em back in the day.

Nah. It’s actually clean. Just a shit show of jet skis in the summer but perfect for me to do a quick rip during the week.

[Wedgy]

That sucks. Bet the wife was nagging all day.

Lol. Did it once. For about a foot. Lol.
You don't do it twice. Made a checklist after that.

Naggy Hagred Haggy was the militant man hating lesbian Ranger @ San V.
Y'all know who. !°°!

Custom... Hydrofoil

 

[BUDMAN]

Done it once about 5’ The wife now asks me if it’s up before even pulling the boat out. Something with the plug before launching

 

[samsah33]

Guilty...! Not this time, but to the point where it's my wife's sole job to remind me to trim - she'll be the one at the ramp yelling "did you remember to do the thingy to the thingy...?" I've become quite skilled over the years at installing the aftermarket SS skeg shields. This is why I stay sober (on the h2o...).

Hasn't happened in a couple years, but the last time was a guys trip with my A-list buddies who are B-list boaters (yup, no wife...!), so retrieval is all on me. Got the truck, backed down the ramp, trailered the boat, got in the truck, started pulling and noticed the drag, thought it must be slipping on the wet ramp, did what any skilled boater would do and put the truck in 4WD...

 

[28Eliminator]

Wait.... You are staying at Campbell cove and launch at the marina?????

Yep.. wife drives the truck and trailer for launch and load. She hates Windsor, so here I am

 

[28Eliminator]

Customer stated.. 2" and 1/4". Neither of you should ever open a machine shop lol

I have no idea WTF your talking about… but I took the pictures, it’s a skeg mark, it’s a 1/4” wide

And No, I don’t own a machine shop

We used to have that same routine after I dragged a foot or two. Guy next to me yelled.
With the Nordic it's a forgotten habit.

 

[jetboatperformance]

Would NEVER happen with a Jet drive

Well it doesn't look like it! But it doesn't look like 2" either like the other guy said
