Well, it had to happen eventually. I got out of work a little early and took the boat out as the season is rapidly ending. I admit I was rushing trying to make the most of the daylight left. I backed the trailer into the water and my partner gave it gas and it wouldn't budge. I checked the winch strap, it was off. I backed up more thinking it wasn't deep enough. Didn't move an inch. The lightbulb went off, I forgot to remove the transom straps! Pulled it out removed them unloaded and took off! Stopped at the first spot and after a couple minutes the boat doesn't feel right. Forgot the plug! Not an easy thing to put in hanging off the back of the boat. Thank god for the bilge! After all was said and done, got maybe 1/2 hour fishing time!
