If your spinning your wheels up the ramp or at a dirt ramp thats wet and your spinning your wheels as you are pulling your boat out, just apply your E-Brake about 1/3rd of the way. This will hold the spinning wheel enough to ingauge the limited slip mech of the rearend and allow both wheels to get traction and pull. This Tip is mostly for you two wheel drive owners but works with a four wheel drive as well,, as most four wheel drives are not really four wheel drive, most have limited slip diff's in them but some do have postive traction diff's and if your spining then you better grab the transfer shifter or push the button on elect. shifted models.

This happens to me quite a lot as our ramps over here are not the best. I'll give this tip a try. Thanks Franklin  :-* ~c~ ~c~

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to try this, the lakes I fish on Fort Hood, don't have ramps.
Most of the time we just launch off the side of the banks.   The banks get real slick when it rains.
