I'm assuming there some difference in an out board & an in board/out drive?

Anyways I must admit I'm wondering what the right thing to do while loading & un loading?

One guy that had an in board said something about rasing the out drive while loading it & another guy said to never raise the outdrive while its running.. :confused:

So what about an outboard?
do you use the outboard to push your self on to the trailer? or just get close & use the hand crank on the trailer?

& when unloading it, do you stick the trailer in so deep that the boat starts to float & then starting & put it in reverse?

Silly question's I know, But.......... I've never ever done it.
& I figure better to ask a silly question than make a stupid mistake.. :eek:

I've looked on you tube & find no video.

I've only rented those utility boats at Castiac lake & they have them in the water waiting for you..
