[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 460084, member: 12995"] I think we all have to make each of the mistakes at least once. I try to remember all the steps but I've left out the drain plug, left the tiedowns on, forget to hook up the trailer wiring, left the trailer jack down, had the bow line come off as I was swinging the boat around to load (got a little wet chasing the boat) and this year, I was at the ramp mixing the 2 stroke with a fresh tank of gas when someone else pulled up. I told them to go ahead and he said it would take him at least 10 minutes to do everything so I hurried up. I forgot to put the gas cap back on and as I was backing down the ramp I could smell gas. Too late, probably a half gallon in the bilge already! I put both boats away for the winter about 5 weeks ago so they should be safe for a while. :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
