Chuck doesn't have this problem I hope, but I did leave my transom
plug out once. So I got it on plane and pulled the plug and sucked the
boat dry, put back the plug, and just went fishin'.


Second time I put the Yukon in the water, I forgot the plug. The boat
was still on the trailer when I noticed it.
Didn't have to worry about $%$# plugs with the sailboat.


I've Got a good one for you guys. The first time we put our 17' electric in
the water she was very ass heavy. The water came up over 3" past the boot
top. She looked like she was doing 50 sitting at the dock. So we
redistributed the battery weight and took her back to the river. As my
partner backed the boat into the water I noticed that she was sitting even
lower in the transom than the first time we launched.

Any body want to guess what the problem was? It was not the drain plug as
it is forward under the front cockpit floorboard.

We forgot to remove the rear stabilizer strap on the trailer. The boat was
actually floating the trailer!!! We pulled her out and removed the strap
amid much laughter around the boat ramp. This was a very nice late summer
Saturday with lots of people around.

Do I get into the club?
