Be really careful when you back in and unload at Fork. I tore my prop up this am at Oakridge and I had a buddy loose his skeg there. I'm ticked, just got a new prop a week ago!!!

Are you talking about at the top of the ramp, are in the water ? Seen a guy in a wrapped boat dragging his Merc at the top of the ramp a couple of weeks ago.

I did the same at Bassin for Babies. Seems to be a rock pile about 30-35 feet from the waterline.
