Not boat related, but A while back I was in the bank on Essen in front of the lake. All the tellers are talking to each other, basically saying they can't believe how anyone can be so inconsiderate.
No idea what's going on so I get my stuff and go. Get outside and see that some woman pulling a gooseneck horse trailer tried to take it through the drive through.
Walking to my car chuckling and shaking my head, I hear... "Scuse me, can you tell me how to back up a trailer?"
Given she was between two concrete poles, I politely told her it isn't something I can tell someone how to do.
She asks me, a total stranger, to hop in and back it up.
Given the bank manager was there, I agreed as long as it was clear I wasn't liable for anything.
Backed it all the way to the back of the parking lot and pointed it at the damned road.
You would have thought I just performed brain surgery by the way they acted.
Having said that, my tiny ski trailer with no ski on it isn't visible from inside the vehicle until it's already bad off. Damned thing is a nightmare if the launch is busy.

I’d rather back a large trailer any day versus a tiny one. Man the tiny ones make people look retarded

Mount a bracket that you can put pvc pipe on it with reflectors put them on when backing so you can see What the trailers doing. Take them down when not needed.

Backup cameras are great for that

Mounted a single pipe sticking up on the tongue.
Looking out the back glass, I just watch which way it moves.
My 2013 has a backup camera, but half the time it's covered in mud.

Years of backing in a 12' jon boat has made me a damn professional.

When we would use my buddy's Tahoe to pull the boat, I would have to open the rear door to be able to back the boat down. I am not a proud man but it looked retarded. At least I didn't hold the boat launch up

The Qualified Captain Instagram is great for viewing the perils of boating

My flats boat in a Tahoe was a pain to back in. The blind spots and relatively short/low boat made it hard to see in certain situations. Backing down in a good launch with lots of room was a piece of cake. Having to turn into a launch was miserable because the boat disappeared at the most important time.

I hope they checked the boat for raccoons

They could have perfected that scene by making the boat sink because they forgot to put the plug in. Although we know that wouldn’t happen, would have been great.

I learned to back a trailer when I was a kid by backing up a tiny lawnmower trailer to the mulch pile all the time. Those things will make show a youngin the "intricacies" of trailer backing in a hurry.
It's the short, acute angle on the triangular portion of a small trailer's tongue that makes it so squirrelly.
My son will learn to backup a 10 foot utility trailer with the back gate off before anything else. (And he'll do it in a truck with a bumper that can handle the damage.)
