MONUMENTAL TIPS FOR BACKING A TRAILER

Boating

August/September 2023

Three Boating greats offer advice for a perennial reader query.

- Kevin Falvey

Advice about how to back up a trailer is right there with "docking advice" and "how much power do I need" as the most common reader questions of all time. -Kevin Falvey

Boating's experts agree that practice is the biggest key. Find an empty parking lot or visit a launch ramp on a chilly, midweek day. Then, back up to "targets" such as cones, sawhorses, beach chairs, cardboard boxes, or whatever you've got that you won't mind hitting.

Naturally, we want to give you more than just general advice, even if it is very good. So, I asked our most experienced trailer boaters Randy Vance, John Tiger and Jim Hendricks -to each offer their top tip for backing a trailer. Their approaches are similar. But, because the sciences of logic and linguistics tell us that tautology-repeating an idea in a different way-can make for effective communication, we present these three voices. Don't take this tautological trio for granted!

FLIPPING THE SWITCH

Much reporting focuses on reasons why one might choose electric marine power. The issues of range, speed, noise levels, winterizing and ethanol challenges, lake restrictions, environmental concerns and more all must be resolved on an individual basis. Little gets said about how a boater choosing to repower with electric actually gets that accomplished. Is it DIY? And if not, how does it get done?

New tow tech ranges from integrated weight scales and adaptive suspensions to systems that automatically back up your truck to hitch up your trailer. Here are a few examples to look for. -Jim Hendricks
