so many choices.......so little time....

I got 2 that tie for stupid...maybe 3

I block my trailer up off the wheels for the winter storage. Come spring I am using the jack to lower it back to the wheels and cant figure out why the wheels arent hitting the ground....come to realize the outdrive (my old boat) was down and the weight of nearly the whole boat (and trailer) was resting on the skeg....

Hooked my battery up backward in the dark one night and smoked my alternator. (again my old boat)

On my V I was checking electrical connections when I first bought it....my main fuse to the helm is inline . The fuse holder looks like 2 fuses side by side...I thought it was two fuses not realizing one was hot and one was a spare. I hooked it up backwards breaking the connection....after I dont know how long trying to figure out why I had now power at the helm anymore I figured it out.

I guess the only one that cost me money was the alternator....so I guess its not so bad....just rookie stuff
