power loading and leaving the engine at full throttle is a sure way to destroy your boat ramp. It undermines the end of the concrete and makes a big hole. when the lake level is low and you have to back in deeper, tires can fall off into the hole. also it will weaken the end of the concrete.
Michael you can see him punch it at 4:18 that's doing significant erosive damage to the ramp. There's grit, sand and small rocks being pushed across the surface of the ramp by the prop. Do that 100 times a day and you've got serious damage over the years. River, lake or ocean boat ramps are all constructed the same way with concrete.
@@Michael-dr6ot Don't be a goose. Eric raises a good point. So many ramps are ruined by people driving on when they could easily just use their winch.
@@otm646 It really depends on where you're boating. This definitely *can* be a problem and in some places power trailering a boat is legally prohibited. However in the four lakes I routinely boat in the ramps themselves are of generous length and most importantly the substrate of the lakes is solid enough that it simply is not an issue. Of course it's always good to use the throttle judiciously. While he's right that you're not going to drive through the winch on your trailer, many people have damaged their boat and/or trailer by coming in too "hot".
Thanks . Only gas ⛽️ I get here is ethanol .Your videos are great , keep up the good work . Wish they had your type of customer service and here in the states .
Get yourself an off-road winch you know that you use on a truck and mount it on your boat. I did this about 10 years ago. I got a 5000 pound boat with a 5000 pound winch I hooked to the front of my boat at the dock push the boat over got a remote control push it remote comes right up on the trailer no hand whingeing no having the electric boat winch brake steel cable holder on the trailer great 10 years or I’ve been doing this all my friends if switch to electric winches for trucks off road on their trailers, no problem major wonderful
The only problem with people driving their boats onto trailers instead of using their winch is that they often creat a deep hole at the end of the ramp which eventually destroys a good ramp. As time goes by trailer wheels end up falling into a deep hole at the end of the ramp and get stuck. The concrete ramp loses it's support and also drops, cracks and breaks away. Sure, it's a little bit harder, but I always think it's best to use your winch when you can.
Length of concrete many ramps you can’t back boat off end such as this one I normally don’t use that many revs Latest 430 fish about has a different view of driving on which is way less erratic If you don’t put wheels in water it takes way too long in busy days 5:44 and in wind or current 5:44 very dangerous winching on with rear of boat fighting you very eazy to slip over pinch points hitting other boats eta I drive every boat on as do every pro Small boats I drag on by hand quickest easiest way On calm days no other boats who cares what you do
Let me point out something REALLY important--how far down his truck has been backed. IF that truck is too far back, the boat will sail right over the bunks and maybe cause damage. His truck is EXACTLY the correct distance back, notice his back wheels on his truck are BARELY touching the water--THIS IS KEY. Not far enough back is bad, too far back worse maybe. In fact, too far back is how people lose their truck, error on the side of caution, start out not far enough, then ease back--careful, just a bit at a time and do all you can to not bury the ass end of your truck in the drink. Remember too sometimes different parts of the ramp are DEEPER--usually the center, try that if you are having trouble and always, always, always, DO NOT RUSH. Take your time, that's the ticket mate.
When driving on trim the motor up so it can’t hit the ground as the boat goes up the trailer I’ve hit ground heaps of times especially when ramp isn’t very steep You need the prop deep enough to bd able to manoeuvre the boat When in transit in Australia trim up so the prop is 110 cm from boat that way you don’t need a flag on prop In general trim up so you don’t hit anything as car goes up and down hills
If you trim the motor up too much you lower the transom and raise the bow That's not good. You need to set the trim so the boats keel is basically parallel with the trailer. This video shows a good trim setting and angle of the boat. Well done
You can gauge that when reversing the boat and trailer in at the start. The sweet spot is when the boat only just starts to gain buoyancy, but the friction of the trailer skids is still holding the boat in place. Typically this sweet spot is when the tires on the trailer are only just fully submerged, but this can change from trailer to trailer.
many ways to skin a cat. good demonstration however note many other demonstrations say 1) don't put back tyres in water, 2) don't be running motor to get boat on trailer, you'll erode the bottom of ramp creating a drop off.
What's a ramp attendant? In the Pacific Northwest, this is one of the most popular methods of loading a boat. Even on reservoirs and lakes. With practice, I've had a boat loaded in 3 minutes. That includes backing the trailer down. Especially when you're dealing with swift water. Quit being a prissy.
There is something wrong with how your having to leave the motor on when you tie it down. Why isn't the trailer lower in the water? I'm not happy with what your teaching here. I have owned boats this size for over 15 years. I load my boat every time without having to power it on. Using your engine at the boat ramp to get it pushed up onto the trailer will dig out the dirt under the water at the end of the ramp where the concrete ends.
Your 100% right But this ramp is very long so no chance of backing off end of ramp With a catch and release you don’t need to power on to hold boat And of course I’m only talking about single handed boating
audio equipment was a bit ordinary back then combined with I’m deaf so I have trouble with volume Sorry we’ve improve audio over the years I still scream though
🙉🙈🙊 - OMG where to start. Totally unnecessary and, now, with just a twist of I can’t believe what I’m seeing... Leaving the engine in gear with power on while your buddy screws around up under the bow? No, the boat won’t drive through the post but I’ve seem them break off the edge of the rubber stop and slide PAST the post, putting a nice gouge in the hull. Would have cleavered off whoever’s hand was up there as well. What’s the rush? Go slow, take a friend if you’re unsure, get some of those guide posts if you have issues with cross wind loads, position the trailer a bit further back and crank the thing the last two feet. Being doing it 40 years that way. It works. All without point-loading the hull as it levers over the bunk, or stirring up crap to suck into your cooling system, clogging and scoring the impeller, eroding the bottom of the ramp, creating currents for other boaters to content with who are trying to load on dual docks. Just no....
If I lived in Queensland I’d come buy a boat off this bloke,what an awesome clip mate it give me that much confidence
Absolutely brilliant - no rubbish, well illustrated, thank you. Need more examples of boating skills.

not at full throttle , not a lake , shut the fuck up

Thanks buddy great explanation nice , clear and direct ! Thank you 😊
Excellent video (Georgia, USA). You guys rock with the boat trailer education.
best instructor ever!
so many shocking boat ramps on brisbane river, im surprised they dont just drift away overnight lol, great video :D
Absolutely mind blown by this vid😂
My techs drive little tinnies on
Quicker and safest way
Also look at my catch and release vid which makes single handed biat loading so eazy
this guys accent is so intense, it sounds like a drunk american trying to do an aussie accent.
I feel like Im watching Jim Jeffries. lol
stogierogy hahaha
Dave Talbot lmfao
You should never power a boat on to a trailer. The prop wash undermines the end of the ramp and it causes holes and the ramp collapses.
Thanks . Only gas ⛽️ I get here is ethanol .Your videos are great , keep up the good work . Wish they had your type of customer service and here in the states .
mate ive got 90hp yamaha 2 stroke on a 5meter bertram speed boat great boat i run it at 4000rpm full throttle all day long
Good job! That's the same way that I learned how to do it. The only way to do it in windy conditions or in swift water.
I love this guy

And in the north with snapping handbags and box jellyfish?
Length of concrete many ramps you can’t back boat off end such as this one
I normally don’t use that many revs
Latest 430 fish about has a different view of driving on which is way less erratic
If you don’t put wheels in water it takes way too long in busy days 5:44 and in wind or current 5:44 very dangerous winching on with rear of boat fighting you very eazy to slip over pinch points hitting other boats eta
I drive every boat on as do every pro
Small boats I drag on by hand quickest easiest way
On calm days no other boats who cares what you do

Wow
If you back boat until almost float is the ideal
But yes I don’t normally put my back wheels of car in water
where should the trim be when unloading and loading onto trailer. All the way down?
And for road transport on the trailer?
When driving on trim the motor up so it can’t hit the ground as the boat goes up the trailer
I’ve hit ground heaps of times especially when ramp isn’t very steep
You need the prop deep enough to bd able to manoeuvre the boat
When in transit in Australia trim up so the prop is 110 cm from boat that way you don’t need a flag on prop
In general trim up so you don’t hit anything as car goes up and down hills
really love the animation and dramatic speech. you seem like you should be on tv mate.
Thanks for your demonstration 👍
Great!!!
How high /low is your motor?
Why are you YELLING?
Because he's an Aussie!
What mate speak up.
Hey brissy yamaha what do you do in the way of trim for this sort of loading. Also do you find corrosion more likely with a non alloy trailer cheers.
If you trim the motor up too much you lower the transom and raise the bow That's not good. You need to set the trim so the boats keel is basically parallel with the trailer. This video shows a good trim setting and angle of the boat. Well done
How to safely load the boat...maybe that’s not the safest way, but that’s how I do it.
Thank u
Can't wait to get gas in my Yamaha. Just cleaned all the gunk out my VSt tank and redid my fuel lines and replaced my injectors and fuel filters .
Keep maintaining your Yamaha like this and it'll last forever!

how far in should a trailer be in the water to drive it on??
You can gauge that when reversing the boat and trailer in at the start. The sweet spot is when the boat only just starts to gain buoyancy, but the friction of the trailer skids is still holding the boat in place. Typically this sweet spot is when the tires on the trailer are only just fully submerged, but this can change from trailer to trailer.
Good tip, thank you!
I definitely wouldn't want to get into the water with all of those jellyfish! Learn to trailer your boat the easy way!
good vid!
HE SHOT ROBIN'S ARROW IN SWAY!
Came across this vid, I wanna try this but I worry my bloody car will reverse back with the jolt of the boat, haha i know its bs but just a fear.
Practice with someone else’s car
Boom
0:20, lots of jellyfish...wow!
Alternate title: "How not to safely load a boat onto the trailer, but risk damaging the boat, the engine, the trailer and the car instead"
OMG!!! Where did he break out of? I got to 1m30 sec and hand to abandon ship!
I made it to 3 minutes, but it was too much!
I don't speak aussie, that must be why my boat ends up crooked on trailer, it doesn't understand me.
is that okay

Oh wow I thought that boats had air brakes lol
What hacks, this is no way to load your boat. If the ramp attendant saw this type of power loading they'd kick you out for sure.
There are no ramp attendants in Australia!
No ramp attendants so powerload and erode the ramp as much as you want and complain about the government not taking care of the ramps later. Smart.
Lol that was not power loading that’s was just keeping the boat from sliding back down the post

Is he a comedian .?
I was interested until I heard the annoying voice .
Are y'all in a sewage treatment pond? Disgusting
Funny you mention that because there is a water treatment plant next door to the ramp...
@@BrisbaneYamaha that is too funny.That water looks like it has turds and trash floating in it.
Stop trying to act like a jenuin aussie
I speak english, I can't understand a word this guy is saying...sorry bro...but I had to leave after listening for 15 seconds.
