Cheat Sheet
Besides Tawn ; does anybody have a "cheat sheet" for when they return to the slip (or when trailering).
I figure I can make a small laminated credit card size sheet to keep in my walet. Here's what I have come up with, what do I need to add?
1) Motor Up
2) Flush Motor
3) Electronics Off
4) Batteries Off
5) Windows/Hatch Closed
6) Cabin Locked
7) Water Off/Hose Coiled
Trailering
- Antenna Down
- Anchor Light Down
- Trailer Strap
Somwtimes, I'm in such a rush to get off the boat and back home, I get ten miles down the road and start to wonder, "Did I lock the cabin?"
Getting old is a _itch

p.s.
Boston; catch the bastards (Domestic or Foreign)

But then you have to put a note on the dashboard of your truck reminding you to look at the card in your wallet rolleyes:

Bruce, you don't know how close you are When the boat is in the driveway, all loaded up and ready to go, I crank the trailer's front wheel down to take pressure off the springs of the truck. I then lean a block of wood against the trucks brake so it has to be removed in the morning before I drive off
I haven't left the driveway without cranking up the wheel

Trailer strap?? What's that? What are you a sissy? I don't recommend those things at all.

I prefer the audio version.
Snap - antenna was up.
Beep , beep , beep - Net blew out and hit car behind boat.
Screech , OOOK - thud - Cooler fell off transom and 18 wheeler crushed it.
Twang - Rod was left in hardtop holder.
Flappa , flappa - side curtain not zipped tight.
Oh , F*ck - buddy sees he left his rod in rod rack ( after going under bridge ).
Snap , crackle , POP - Outrigger was up and hit electric wires.

My wallet is not big enough to hold Don's checklist

Here is my checklist Marty was referring to. I guess it comes from 24+ years on submarines....we don't do ANYTHING without a checklist.
I can't tell you how many times it has saved me from having to return to the boat to turn off the battery switch or to get my cell phone.
It's about a 10" X 16" engraved placard I had made at a local trophy shop.
