Yesterday, a vehicle tow trunk was backing down the boat launch ramp, trying to launch a 22 foot power boat on it tailer (the Admiral just said we should have taken a picture).
The tailer apparently had a bent or broken axil. So they just picked up the boat and tailer.
The tow truck begins to raise his bed and lower the boat/trailer. Rut Roh...
Too high of an angle and they proceed to shove the ass end and motor under the water and fill the boat.
Screams!!!!!
But at least the tow pulled forward and recovered. They had too pull the aft drain plug to drain the water.
This time a very shallow angle and slow successful entry.
The family was ready to ride and the engine started fine!!!

When opening a deck fill cap, I always say, read the label on the cap, look at the color of cap and...
Do a SNIFF test!!
No mixup so far, but they all whine when I say loudly.... Sniff it.
