When planning a boat trip, consider gear weight to save deck space. Use wire grates for cooking instead of gas stoves, flashlights instead of lanterns, lightweight nylon tents, and dehydrated foods instead of canned goods to reduce load.
A boat anchor is only as good as the line it is attached to. Inspect the line by stretching and tugging before reuse to test for hidden wear. Mid season, reverse the anchor line to balance wear on the edge.
To solve traction problems when launching a trailered boat use a front hitch. Attach an additional trailer hitch to the front of the car so the trailer noses toward the water while the car’s rear wheels stay on higher ground, preventing slip.
