Well I know I am not the first to do this, but that doesn't make me feel much better. First splash with my new 185BR, had the family and a couple of friends aboard, had a great day on the Saint John River, saw a number of eagles and other wildlife, and enjoyed the sun, and an onboard lunch. At the end of our trip had no trouble getting the boat aboard the trailer, brought her in to within 8 inches of the pin, then had her winched up by a friend, who then proceeded to pull the trailer from the launch site.Then came the ominous scraping sound. Yes, I forgot to raise the outdrive. Knew it as soon as I heard the sound of it striking the concrete at the top of the ramp. Ruined the rest of my day.I know, I know, pics or it didn't happen. Here you are, revel in my idiocy!Looks like a Skegguard might be in my near future. I don't see any more damage, hopefully there isn't any. :sorrow:Can't wait until the end of the week when "Mollie Kay" will have a home at the dock, rather than on the trailer.JB.
