Who needs first gear anyway....
Sounds like my weekend. Backed the trailer down and heard a pop, thought it was just the boat taking slack out of the strap, nope, snapped a leaf spring. Awesome, well I go park, totally not paying attention as I am thinking about how I'm going to get home....clock a pole with the trailer fender, GREAT! Anyway hit the water, great day things are looking up (minus the predicted crawl home) retrieve the boat, focused on the spring, forget to trim up the motor....sccccrrrraaaaaappppeeee the skeg up the ramp a bit. Damage was minor, just a scratch nothing missing. Limped home (thank god for a double axle trailer) parked it and cracked a beer...all before noon, what a great day!
