Which brings me to my point. Where does one get an education on how to load/unload a boat at the ramp?
The answer is simple...there is no place. It is not discussed in the boater safety education course, and as far as I know, it is not discussed anywhere else. So how do they learn? Experience, and from the experiences of others who have been educated. That's how I learned.

There should be a sign at the ramp that says "No Power Loading". Then there is no excuse. Is there a sign??
