A while ago with my very first boat, and open 14' aluminum grumman I forgot the plug on my 2nd time out ever while at Leornardo ramp....of course all of the well wishers there up above you on the dock just waiting for it to happen were quick to let me know......so no harm done other than feeling like a complete douche bag......best thing that could have happened to me though as I can GUARANTEE you I will never do it again....I know strong words, but I am vigilant to not ever have that feeling again.

I know what you mean RW. I will never forget again. I like to think I've saved my buddy's arse a few times as well. When the boat is backing down the ramp (or before) I always ask, "is the plug in?"
