Silver Public Launch Caution

Guys,

If you use this ramp make sure you keep your trailer dead center on the ramp. Why? Because when Carlos launched me a couple of weeks ago he was just off the ramp and my right front tire hit something real sharp and it caused a flat.

Well...two more WBC members fell victim to the TIRE EATING LAUNCH at Silver...Chris Blandi and Brian Walker were fixing tires on Sunday......no matter what it takes stay in the middle of the ramp....talked to John Robards....(and who has'nt!) he said he would try to get ahold of the local WDFW guys and see if they can get a work order started.

It might be worth paying to launch at Streeters?

Yes I will admit it Larry.  Everyone remember,  unstrap BOTH transom straps  Cry  If you don't when the boat gets backed in the water, it will float the trailer off to one side, resulting in a flat tire.  Lips Sealed   DOOOOHHH !

Most importantly, do not get in a rush at the ramp.

Oh No maybe I should have put in BOLD TYPE not to launch off side. My trailer tire cost me $130 big ins I didn't want to spend. Hope your tires were less.

Troy,

If you are facing the ramp from land it is on your left.

I talked to Jose, who was with Brian on Saturday when they popped a tire. He said that the thing that is causing the problem on both sides of the ramp is that there are braces that hold the cement ramp pieces together that have sharp nuts and bolts that stick up right on the edge of the ramp. He said that he and Brian looked carefully and there is no garbage or anything planted there by someone, just those bolts with sharp edges.

Yep Brian and Larry are right.  Just stay in the middle of the ramp because its just the metal sides that are chewing up the tires.  Its not anything that hasn't been there before and it'll get you on both sides.  My friend tried to pop my tire on thursday night until I started screaming at him.  JUST STAY IN THE MIDDLE!
