Good advice here.Everybody was a beginer once without exception so don't get flustered.If you see someone that looks like they are not happy with your inexperience,let them know your just learning and need help.This will almost always change the attitude from foe to helper.Also mentioned here is blocking the ramp.This is a no no.Nothing gets me irked more than not being ready to launch before you approach the ramp.The ramp is there for one thing only,the get the boat on and off the trailer.All the other things(removing tie-downs,loading wanted items into the boat and the like)should be done before backing down or blocking the entrance to the ramp.I also always start my motor before launching.As soon as I hit the water it starts in 1 second.
