Boat ramp troubles

[22Splash]

Towed the 16ft boat to a "somewhat" local reservoir to get in on the hot, spring trout fishing, launching was uneventful, however retrieval was NOT.....Very low water levels meant lousy gravel/mud ramp, ( used to be the logging road when lake was built) getting boat back on trailer after about 6 attempts involved getting front tires 6ft from dry land in 4High, submerged rear bumper and exhaust, finally back on trailer and all is well, any issues to look for with rear axle, E-Locker, ect.? Truck has had no issues since.

You may want to open up any connectors that were submerged in water and spray contact cleaner in them to dry them out - properly before it wicks up the wire.

C’mon Dave, that should be a piece of cake for a “Splash” edition.

Temps in high 30s, wading around in water is not my idea of making a "splash" The army corp of engineers needs to start holding some frikkin water back in these reservoirs.

Make sure breather for rear axle was mounted high enough. Probably is from the factory but worth making sure.

C'mon! The cold makes you feel alive! Nothing like 44 degrees water on 38 degrees day with 10mph north wind pushing white caps on the lake.

So long as you don't end up in one of those boat ramp YouTube videos, it's a win

The OP @22Splash is going to have to understand that this is where my warped sense of humor took me to on this particular subject.
From the final season of ROADKILL.
