I too, have had everything fall exactly right 2 or 3 times. You prep before you get to the ramp, pull around, the assistant in the boat with the line, the key and just a quick back down and faster stop so it slides in nicely. Pull the car/trailer away while the other is trimming the prop and starting the engine to pull back to dock to wait for me.

The BUT is because one of those great launches, not all the buttons were in the right position. I did forget to plug back in BOTH the transom drain plug and the inside well plug. OOOH all those soaking wet bags of groceries and clothes for the 2 week vacation on the island. Fortunaltely I did arrive from the parking lot quickly, discovered my booboo, plugged them and headed out to get to area to allow the speed drain to work. Talk about almost blocking the ramp!
