New to boating and have picked up a 1989 bayliner Capri 1700 with a 85hp force outboard. The boat came with no auto tilt/trim. I was hoping someone here could explain the procedures for launching, in regards to when to lower the engine? If that makes sense?
Are you supposed to lower the engine into position before i back the boat into the water?
Or back the boat into the water and some how lower the engine? This seems like it would be very difficult to do. I guess I'm worried about hitting the skeg backing down the ramp.
Help please.
