Trailering in OD

I never tow in OD, Always in 3rd, no more than 55 and with the AC off. :nut:


Went to down Marathon and back to North Georgia once like that in an '83 Chevy conversion van with a 305 and shag carpet towing a 17 footer on a single axle. It had way too much tongue weight so that it would fit in my Dad's garage. :sand:


I thought self inflicted torture was part of the boating lifestyle?...... Dam...... think of all the money I could have saved just paying a dominatrix to whip me with a riding crop. :oh:

I suggest driving downhill to get best mpg while trailering.

And I always trailer w/my outboard running at about half throttle...keeps the prop turning into the wind and I find the added thrust greatly improves truck gas mileage...particularly on hills...
