Cheat Sheet
Besides Tawn:D; does anybody have a "cheat sheet" for when they return to the slip (or when trailering).
I figure I can make a small laminated credit card size sheet to keep in my walet. Here's what I have come up with, what do I need to add? 1) Motor Up 2) Flush Motor 3) Electronics Off 4) Batteries Off 5) Windows/Hatch Closed 6) Cabin Locked 7) Water Off/Hose Coiled Trailering - Antenna Down - Anchor Light Down - Trailer Strap Somwtimes, I'm in such a rush to get off the boat and back home, I get ten miles down the road and start to wonder, "Did I lock the cabin?":D Getting old is a _itch:eek: 5th (Marty) p.s. Boston; catch the bastards (Domestic or Foreign) |
Trailering,
Drain Plug Tie Down Straps Trailer lights Trash |

Trailer strap?? What's that? What are you a sissy? I don't recommend those things at all. :D

I prefer the audio version.
Snap - antenna was up. Beep , beep , beep - Net blew out and hit car behind boat. Screech , OOOK - thud - Cooler fell off transom and 18 wheeler crushed it. Twang - Rod was left in hardtop holder. Flappa , flappa - side curtain not zipped tight. Oh , F*ck - buddy sees he left his rod in rod rack ( after going under bridge ). Snap , crackle , POP - Outrigger was up and hit electric wires. |
I've heard the "snap" before on my old boat:mad:

Here is my checklist Marty was referring to. I guess it comes from 24+ years on submarines....we don't do ANYTHING without a checklist.
I can't tell you how many times it has saved me from having to return to the boat to turn off the battery switch or to get my cell phone. It's about a 10" X 16" engraved placard I had made at a local trophy shop. |
