Only once is good going over a lifetime
I was up the Murray the other week, launching the tinny, backing down and the rope came loose and the boat started drifting off, my lazy knot came undone, had to go for a dip 13 degrees in my jocks, couldn't get in, had to use the motor for a ladder.
Now that was a first......
Save yourself a shitload off time and dont get wet
Just have a few goes and you will be fine.
Then just step off the front and winch on
Wont take u long to get it figured out

Re: Long time boater first time owner!
Once you learn to drive on you will not winch again.
But it takes some practice...
My first time I had about 12 attempts before somehow getting it on.
These days I am a little bit better than the early days.
If the boat is new (steering and throttle mainly) then it will be a bit harder to find tune throttling and steering.
Once they are worn in a bit they are a lot easier to manage.
