Hello Tampa
The first time is the toughest. It gets easier every time.
I have a 2003 170. The first time I took it out I had trouble getting it off the trailer. My wife was in the Suburban and communication was difficult. A guy from the bar next to the ramp came over and helped me. Got in the water on a cold day and just said good luck. I couldn't even buy him a beer.
You will find the nicest people in the world on and around the water. They will help. Just ask.
Trust your depth finder. It's your best friend. Sirius radar is a close second.
