What did it drop?

New trucks go in the water when the economy goes bad…

These kind of things started happening about 10 years after we began giving trophies to the losers in peewee sports. So you got a whole generation of losers growing up never having to solve a problem or improve themselves.

I'm too old. ☹

Here's a reason you didn't mention. The tranmission parking brake uses the driveline to lock the wheels. So when it is is 4wd it locks all 4 wheels instead of just the rear. For instance the vehicle might stay there when you get out of the vehicle on the ramp in 2wd but when loading the boat the weight of the boat breaks the rear wheels traction then it slides back in the water. If you're in 4wd the front tires are locked so that wouldn't happen. I would say most vehicles in the water happens when no one is in the vehicle to hit the brakes when it slides if not in 4wd.

Can you be a rescue swimmer or apart of their crew as an auxiliary?

Coast guard is not the best service. I did 8 years in the coast guard and i experienced the WORST TOXIC LEADERSHIPS ever inmagined. As a Coast Guard veteran you'll get absolutely no support whats so ever. Now im basically homeless live off unemployment for years. My friends joined marines, army, and navy for 6 years and their branch helped them transition into civilian life with secured jobs while coast guard toss me out like trash. I reach out to coast guard several times for support and they literally blocked me or ignored me. Im a extremely nice guy and hardworking and yet i get no support from Coast Guard. Join any other service but coast guard. Coast Guard has absolutely no comradery.

Good video, thanks. I signed up for the Auxiliaries here in Alameda (I live almost right next door), very much looking forward to this new adventure.

' that natural water have ALGA on the ramp... dept of boats and ramps has to cleans up wipe off the alga and be safety vehicles with boats... no accident at all... ' the motor vehicle must use a shift '' N '' as neutral with a trailer boat while slow down ramp to the water... dont use a shift '' R '' as reverse

“I have no control over the front wheels” ever heard of brakes? WTF

Drivers that don't set the parking brake or forget and leave it in reverse or neutral.

Thank you so much for this video. I just purchased a 1970 Nauset Boston Whaler. Awesome video and walkthrough.

#1 is panic.

a fuel tank built intto he hull is better, if you rep;ace those 6 gallon tanks with a 24 gallon your not going to lift it out of the truck and put it in the boat

this is just sad, some people up north underestimate the power of hurricanes, but hurricane camille was a tropical storm when it hit virginia, and apparently the birds were drowning in the air. hurricanes are not to be underestimated

Can I be a rescue swimmer Voluntarily? I Work in the medical field and I want to train and learn with the AST A rescue swimmers

That’s gonna be the next rash of domestic terrorism you’re just going to have these roaming gangs of teenagers all over the place dumping lube onto boat ramps

I'd really like to see a proper set up where these Montauks could safely do 60 MPH.

I'll be 30 next year with no college I'm considering coast, navy, or air force but don't know if I should take the plundge I'm also not in the best shape even though I've done manual labor jobs

Just do something that helps everyone out. Get a large shop broom and go down to the water and start scrubbing the concrete a few feet down into the water. Maybe not do it when things are REALLY BUSY at the ramp, but if you're there and the traffic is low take a couple mins to brush/scrub the ramp area starting where it begins to get slick and continue a few feet down into the water. If you're really concerned about it, inspect the ramp before backing down to see if it will be a problem. Especially if you only have 2WD.

"I have no control over the front wheels" I guess the brake pedal is just for decoration?

🙏🙏🙏🌏 Isaiah 61:1 Thank you

My old 2011 suzuki grand vitara had awd plus 4wd. Even with oil on ice and covered with algae it would still pull 3,300 lbs up a ramp no problem.

I don't like the lights either, look like Frog eyes. Nice find. Outrage has higher gunwales than the Montauk, more offshore capability.

Incredible, may I ask what you’re towing her with?

Good points. But when I launch my boat I’m paranoid that in the “heat of battle” I’ll just get out to attend to the boat and forget to drop the vehicle into park. I’ve seen it happen!

You'd think they'd design boat ramps to have bumps to give traction

Good basic info! Towed a 20 ft er for 15 yrs w/ a full size Chevy Caprice WAGON! No kidding...laughing stock of all my prof. Firefighter buddies!! Bought real estate & raised 5 kids on that boat!

That's a fun run. I need to do that again soon.

The only reason I even have 4x4 on my truck is for launching and retrieving my boats. I even put it in 4 wheel drive when I'm launching my 500 pound Whaler. I sure put it in 4 wheel drive when I'm launching my 5000 pound Mako CC. It's too late when you're sliding down the ramp.

Just have a normal vehicle with front wheel drive

As soon as you said you need 4wd I turned this crap off. You obviously don't know how to drive.

Wrap the truck in pool noodles to help it float.

Trucks are not water tight like boats hence why trucks don't float as well.

Stupid dumb sick

Yall really need a Culinary Specialist

Chalk works for gymnastics, but not for launch ramps.

For a video with this title you really should have addressed the common issues of: Not ensuring vehicle is in park Not engaging parking break Not having manual transmissions in gear or relying only on parking brake while in N Falling out of truck while looking back through open door These are far more common than a loss of traction due to wheel spin

I wonder how many of these "accidents" are actually tenatives to defraud the inssurance companies by making them pay for a truck the owner can no longer pay for or just wants to get rid of without paying for it.

When you stop to unload, or stop to load the boat, you should also engage the parking brake

What if your car is front wheel drive? I'm looking into getting my first boat and it will be kept on a trailer, just looking for tips. It won't be too heavy, just an older 17 montauk

always a nightmare scenario, its best to stay overly cautious at the ramp

Trucks are heavier than water

I have the same exact truck. That can happen but it really doesn't....

"Trucks Get Submerged at Boat Ramps". It's so simple: because cars are not watertight and don't swim

How about just not getting the truck tires in the water at all? Too many people back too far. The boat trailer tires don’t need to be submerged. Then just put on the trucks emergency brake.

A lot of trailer tongues are too short

People don't understand physics

Sounds like the job I am doing. Want to help me? Charleston sc
