Jam Session, driving the boat onto the trailer is logical and is what most jet sled drivers do. I adopted the habit of running the carburetor dry before loading the boat onto the trailer from the guy I bought my E'rude outboard 20 years ago. The old 2-stroke would sometimes sit for weeks or months in the garage between uses. I'm told that gummed up carburetors from oil and gas mix is a common problem in outboards. I think this contributed to my old outboard being so reliable for 41 years. Now that I've re-powered with a 4-stroke with electronic fuel injection, that shouldn't be an issue any longer. Old habits are hard to change I guess. Sg Yeah the fuel injected motors don't need this at all, though you could disconnect the gas after you drive on, motor will still be in the water. If you let it sit, especially in the winter, just make sure to treat the gas for trouble free operation.

I only use this speed on a very steep ramp or in a situation I cannot get much of my trailer in the water. It was not very expensive but I bought it many years ago. I think I bought it at boaters world when they existed. Easiest option is an electric winch but a lot more money. I bought the 2 speed because the electric on my boat came with went belly up and it was too much $$ to replace.
