Rockport....So glad you brought up this subject. This is my first year boating, so I have a lot to learn. I am taking baby steps right now.
It is great that the guys here with so much experience are giving us their advice! I will be paying very close attention, these guys know stuff that the courses and books don't tell you.
I have done a lot of reading, but nothing beats hands on experience.
Just yesterday, I launched the boat, tied up to the dock, and went to park my truck and trailer. When I returned to the boat I noticed a little water sloshing around on the floor...yep... I forgot to put the transom plug in! Instantly jumped over the side into about 5 ft. of water and screwed the plug in.
My point is that sometimes you have to learn by your mistakes.
