Default Stupid boat launching question

short distance to push the boat off the trailer.


My stupid question is: Now that it's getting cold outside, if I want to
launch the boat in cold weather, do I actually have to wade into icy cold
water on a cold day to do that? *I assume there must be another way to do
this.


The question isn't stupid, especially for a newbie.

If you have a roller trailer, which I suspect you do not, the boat will
roll off the trailer into the water, assuming any sort of incline on the
boat ramp. Make sure you keep the boat attacked to the trailer until you
want it to roll off!


Seeing how you found it just incredible that Justa made a spelling
error, it's ATTACHED, not attacked.
