@@mattede8744 My 72 IH Travelall could of done that easy. yes its 4x4, But i hardly use it, its there when i need it. Its even heavyer then a Excursion.
Props to the guy giving up control and he now knows the proper way to exit thanks to a helpful teacher. Release some tire pressure and slow on the throttle. Instead of being stubborn and possibly sinking his car he got to park the trailer and enjoyed a day on the water with his fam.
The guy who jumped in knows what he’s doing. Notice he had the brakes applied while pulling out. That’s to prevent the wheels from spinning. Mucho smart!
I didn't catch that, I had to go back to see it for myself. I don't see why it worked though, he should have used the parking brake so the front brakes wouldn't grab at all
I noticed your comment...I used to do the same thing years ago in my mustang pulling a flat bottom v-drive, I’d use the parking/hand brake & riding the clutch while pulling out to keep from spinning!!! worked everytime!
Re minds me of the first time launching my 28’. I was worried about scraping the shiny new prop. So i backed up a little too much. As soon as the boat floated, the trailer floated and so did the truck(chevy 3500 dually) 5 tires in the water(spare was under there) empty bed and almost empty tank that did it. I had it in 4wd, so i pulled it out, but learned a lesson that day.
If you’re spinning one rear wheel, apply your parking brake slowly until the spinning wheel stops. Both wheels will then provide drive. Once you’re out of the slippery patch don’t forget to release the parking brake.
@@Bubbles99718 I suppose you could do the same with a front wheel drive vehicle that has the parking brake applying to the front wheels, by reversing up the ramp. You could hook a chain from a front tow point on the vehicle to the boat trailer.
MAN! Docking is so simple unless it's your first time. Approach at a 45* angel (slow) just before you touch the front go reverse turn full lock steering wheel to the dockside short sharp rev to pull back of the boat to the dock then hit neutral, you can do this on your own. GooD LucK!
Ha. Really enjoyed the narration on this episode. Since you started this channel I’ve noticed for some reason most people don’t have lines ready until they’re sideways between the docks and then they grab a 20 ft dock line off the floor that’s all knotted up.
That one blows me away. You see that with peeps who have lost an engine as well. Hard to say it's anything other than what it is: this person is stupid.
I just bought an Excursion and I can't imagine buying one without 4WD and then adding a lift and big tires...lmao! It's like buying a 2WD Jeep what a waste!
For Mr.Excursion, if you're in a rear wheel drive, especially an open diff. Give the E/Parking brake a few clicks. It will put the brake on a little bit and lock the rear wheels together, instead of just spinning the one wheel. Every now and then we have to do that on snow. That's if you don't have 4wd.
this year has auto hubs, if teh vaccum fails you need to override it. but looks like it has after market wheels, so you would need to pull the whole tire off.
@@cordellroberson532 Just the center cap needs to come off to engage the hubs. I have manual lockouts and floor shifter on my 72 International. Non of that electronic crap.
When a tire is spinning apply the brakes also it will help the differential transfer power to the wheel that isn't spinning...works to in offroading situations as well
Had he aired way down, if would have come straight out! Then again, checking the trailer is NOT caught up underneight the surface would/should have been a priority too
Yeah, I was first wondering the same: why no diff locks? And if its a 2WD its really the wrong choice for this. I borrow my mother-in-law's Audi 4WD when i need to get the boat up... :)
I assume in Florida 4wd isn’t that common. The only time I need it is when the water is so low I have to back off the ramp to get the boat off the trailer.
Good job for the guy who helped the Excursion. He knew how to get the wheels to lock up and to take it slow. Also let the guy know to drop some air pressure.
I've seen 20-year captians in FL screw up dockings. It can happen to anyone thanks for at least not acting like you're the best at docking EVER and never made a mistake!
On that excursion applying slight brake pressure will ensure that power is sent to both rear wheels and not just one. The helper has definitely been around the dock a few times
You want to do it with the parking brake though, only a few clicks. Due to applying the normal brakes will put pressure on the front wheels also, making more resistance for going up. Where the parking brake on a few clicks will only put brakes on the rear wheels. You have to deal with this problem a lot in the snow.
Ah, docking when you have a strong tidal current that is counter to the direction of the wind (notice the direction that the flags are waving at 4:00). A lot of people get suckered into playing the wind instead of the current which is often stronger and faster. Great time to set up a chair and pop open a beer.
More than once I have put a trusted friend in the vehicle and then put the boat on the trailer, chained the front of the boat to the trailer and used the boat to push everything out of the water. Works great.
If you only have rear wheel drive and are trying to pull your boat out of the dock and one of your rear wheels is spinning I would advise putting a little pressure on the brake pedal as you're trying to drive out. The pressure is going to stop the wheel from spinning and get the other wheel some more power and traction.
With an open differential the tire with the least resistance is the one that spins. To counteract that, simply apply your parking park a little to "trick" your differential into applying power to both wheels. And very easy on the throttle.
At first I thought that guy had backed in so deep that the trailer dropped off the back side of the ramp. Now we know what the real problem was. And no, I don't think the guy that hopped in the truck found the 4wd switch. Excursions were made in RWD models as well. I just think he found out a way to ease up the ramp using a combination of brake and throttle to account for the slippage of the tires.
Ok guys so maybe everyone doesn’t know, but all boat launches have about a 10 foot drop off past a certain length, so the trailer drops off and gets hung on it. This is why you see guys like the one at 6:21 sit there and spin. This is also one more reason you don’t want to put your trailer any more in than needed to just float your boat off. Or, to just recover it bare bones basic.
Finally someone knows to lightly apply the brakes while trying to pull up the ramp to keep the rear wheels from spinning in a 2WD vehicle. One foot on the brake and one on the gas. As soon as the tires spin the friction between the tires and pavement go down dramatically. Whoops missed Phil Phil’s comment and others as well.
Ford Excursion at 6:26... First can’t believe it doesn’t have 4wd or even a posi rear (both rear wheels have equal traction) Tip : pull up on your emergency brake slightly building pressure as you add throttle. This will equalize the pressure on the open rear and throw traction to both rear wheels. The real thing to do is if your towing a boat when you buy a truck get a stout one with 4wd and use it on the ramp. It will keep you out of trouble. If you hit a patch of algae on the rear wheels the only thing keeping you from drowning the rig are those front wheels 😉
secret to cars with "open" rear ends, that means which ever tire has the LEAST amount of traction, spins. either set the parking brake to a medium pull, or ride the brakes slightly. the resistance may be enough to get the tire WITH traction pulling. That is what the guy at end did, notice the brake lights are on, the whole time going up ramp, he was riding the brakes. It a trick most cold weather drivers aware of.
@@phil7791 they cost less to buy, and less to maintain. I love my 4x4 but I can understand the cost and maintenance. When you do the front end you also have the axles, twice the ball joints, got to check fluids on the front pumpkin. I don't mind because I do my own work mainly because I don't trust shops after a few bad experiences.
First problem, Ford!!!! Second problem, no positrac. Third problem, lack of driver education. 3 strikes your out, sell the boat or correct the problems.
Well think it was supposed to have 4x4 but if anyone knows Ford you know they were stuck in between the 20 and 21 century with there vacuums on the 4x4 on those years but what did second dude do right he probably 2 footed one on brake and one on gas letting of brakes while appliance of the gas like he was working a clutch
The trailer fell off the end of the concrete ramp, it's a common problem, you should try not to sink your trailer in the water if you don't know the length of the ramp and the conditions at the end of the ramp
If you look closely the guy in the expedition had the emergency brake on! The helper pointed to it and you can see the owner reach under the dash. So all he had to do was release the emergency brake and the truck pulls right out!!
ive got a 16 john boat so its a lot different but i never put my rear tires in the water if at all possible i do have a limited slip but still dont want to chance it
I knew someone would be thinking along the same line as I am. The gator has it!!! Only reason they actually got it out was that the gator had to let go because he got to laughing too hard. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😆😆
3:00 You assume the one driving is the "Captain" as you call him. The owner might be the guy in the bow of the boat. 5:30 Why do people dock when someone else is backing in to put their boat in the water? Plenty of empty docks pick an empty one.
That last boater could have eased the boat's bow against the trailer bow roller . with the boat engine running & in forward eased the boat forward to give the truck some forward momentum to help to move slightly up the ramp, then stop & finish loading the boat on the trailer BUT it takes real coordination to pull off a maneuver like this that not too many weekend warriors are capable of.
me: That commentary... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 also me: Dudes like, Hold my beer... Pulls truck and trailer out quick.. Guru: Just another day at the boat ramps.. Lolol...
The last guy was so obvious. He didn't have it in 4WD , the guy who jumped in at the end put it in after he realized it ,you could tell because all 4 tires started pulling with power
i know im a few months late but no he didnt put it in 4wd that one didnt have the logo for 4wd. What he did was 2 foot drive it by using the brake to keep the tire from breaking traction, once you spin you lose all grip.
The knuckle head @ 6:09 has backed the boat trailer in way too deep & the trailer is floating, it it any wonder he is spinning the rear tire as it is sitting over the high tide grow point. When i bought float on trailer I got 1 with 2-1/2 feet extra tongue length to avoid problems like this & shallow sloped ramps. Of coarse I was always getting asked why the trailer tongue was so long. A longer trailer is easier to back than a short one.
Move let me do it. Yes, if you say that you better get it done. Note, he did a “poor man locker” trick. Little brake to stop the spinning wheel and out you go.
We pulled our 1500 pound Compac out of the water with a ford Taurus, never slipped or struggled once. The look on other boater's faces as we pulled out effortlessly while their super-duty mega truck is stuck spinning rooster tails trying to pull out a center console, quite comical from my perspective.
The problem wasn't a parking brake, it was that he wasn't using the brakes. With an open differential a little brake pressure can prevent this situation where you have one wheel spinning. The second guy knew this and got that Excursion out of there like a pro. Watch it again and watch the brake lights.
Love how the big with trips the captain is backing down he doesn’t even look behind himself for a good while he could have caused all kinds of issues for someone.
We were at Lake Weir boat ramp at Carney Island Park, wish I had my camera going, watched a guy with a boarrowed boat drop the trailer wheels off the ramp. He decided that stomping the gas would hop it back up, but instead his drive shaft broke and dropped. We gave him and the boat a ride to the owner's house. That old man was soo mad that this dude was late bringing it back. He didn't even care why. Shocker? Don't know how it ended for the truck as we didn't stick around for any of that.
The Excursion like to many rear drives get on to the sea moss growing on the concrete under the water and its like driving on ice, he needs a locking rear differential.
I'm from Michigan and it is crazy to have an SUV with out 4x4...Insane to not have locking dif. The extra cost for the locking dif is not even noticeable.
Why does no one use fender bumpers? We always use them when putting in the water and when coming in to a dock. They don't cost much and will protect your boat from damage
That last one with the Ford Excursion couldn't tell in the video possibly his tires are bald if he had very very bad tires that would happen although the other guy got it out with no problem so that's funny
Did your cameraman stick around and catch the Excursion recovering the boat? If they struggled getting an empty trailer out, it'd be fun to watch a loaded trailer.
2wd excursion with an open diff that’s all jacked up to look badass can’t even pull an empty trailer out of the water. Lol!
Classic case of "all show no go".

@@dustintunis9347 you only apply enough so that the differential dosn't let the wheel free spin

We pulled our 1500 pound Compac out of the water with a ford Taurus, never slipped or struggled once. The look on other boater's faces as we pulled out effortlessly while their super-duty mega truck is stuck spinning rooster tails trying to pull out a center console, quite comical from my perspective.
The excursion clearly has the emergency brake on 😂😂😂
The problem wasn't a parking brake, it was that he wasn't using the brakes. With an open differential a little brake pressure can prevent this situation where you have one wheel spinning. The second guy knew this and got that Excursion out of there like a pro. Watch it again and watch the brake lights.
Love how the big with trips the captain is backing down he doesn’t even look behind himself for a good while he could have caused all kinds of issues for someone.
We have the know it all commentary at it once again
Funny stuff
Ford excursion
Parking brake on lol
We were at Lake Weir boat ramp at Carney Island Park, wish I had my camera going, watched a guy with a boarrowed boat drop the trailer wheels off the ramp. He decided that stomping the gas would hop it back up, but instead his drive shaft broke and dropped. We gave him and the boat a ride to the owner's house. That old man was soo mad that this dude was late bringing it back. He didn't even care why. Shocker? Don't know how it ended for the truck as we didn't stick around for any of that.
When that happens, you might as well unload and try again, otherwise you're almost guaranteed more expensive grief.
The Excursion like to many rear drives get on to the sea moss growing on the concrete under the water and its like driving on ice, he needs a locking rear differential.
I'm from Michigan and it is crazy to have an SUV with out 4x4...Insane to not have locking dif. The extra cost for the locking dif is not even noticeable.
Why does no one use fender bumpers? We always use them when putting in the water and when coming in to a dock. They don't cost much and will protect your boat from damage
Hey the ford has manual locking hubs.So someone has to get out and lock up the front hubs to make into 4x4
The guy with the Excursion backed the trailer off the end of the ramp. The wheels are hung up on a concrete ledge.
That last one with the Ford Excursion couldn't tell in the video possibly his tires are bald if he had very very bad tires that would happen although the other guy got it out with no problem so that's funny
People getting stuck at the ramp is crazy when 80% of the time you can slack the tires down for more traction
Maybe he should lock in the hubs...
Looks like he did AFTER he got out 😂
Did your cameraman stick around and catch the Excursion recovering the boat? If they struggled getting an empty trailer out, it'd be fun to watch a loaded trailer.
