Well, at last I,ve summoned up enough courage to attempt dunkin' the boat for the first time! We went up to Aberystwyth on the weekend to have a look at the berth & the slipway. This coming Saturday is the big day, around 3 to 4pm. 'cos that's high tide. I'll be having nightmares all week about seeing our boat slide off the trailer and disappear under the water! I would assume it would pay to have a rope on it so it can't float away? I've read in one of the Mags. that you should always start the outboard at the top of the slipway to make sure it's working. Other articles stress on no account start your engine out of water. Confusion right up to the last minute!! Anyway, I know I've been a pain with all my questions over the last few weeks, but I would greatly appreciate any last minute tips (or warnings!) anyone might have before the big splash!
Thanks for all your advice,
