[QUOTE="user 29, post: 234738, member: 29"] I almost did it at the ramp. I forgot to remove the transom tie downs and I'm backing down an unimproved mud slide between a couple of trees. I'm noticing the boat isn't sliding off the trailer. When I realize what was going on, I put the truck in drive and that's all remember but me trying to pull up the boat as I'd unhooked the winch. My tackle box is floating off the deck, my auto inflate PFD had, in fact, self inflated and it's floating across the pond. I at least had the presence of mind to whip the rope around one tree and tie around the other tree to prevent the boat from sinking further. I jumped onto the deck and hit the bilge switch but since the transom was submerged it really didn't do anything. I was able to get the winch hook into the bow eye, winch the boat onto the trailer and the bilge started to kick in. Eventually I had it under control and fortunately no water got into the powerhead or through the cowling. [/QUOTE]
