    If a boat is sitting still in the water, particualrly if the hatch is open, cruise on by and make sure all is well and they're not broke....

    Common sense.
    The ramp. Make sure you know how to drive your trailer, Both directions.
    If you're backin to the water and you have anything else to do but fire it up and back away your pissin people off :hammer2:

    Make sure you are ready to launch before you pull on to the ramp. Don't load up all of your stuff on the ramp and expect people to react kindly. If you cant be in and out in 3 minutes, you need to work on it (when the ramp is slow).

    Definitely launch ramp etiquette.
    Minimize the amount of time others have to wait for you.
    Don't make wakes where you are not supposed to.
    Don't come too close unless its really slow, especially if other boats are tied up together or to a dock.
    Do offer help and be friendly.
    Pick up your trash.
    Have the women on your boat women pasties and thongs.
    Throw the shocker often.
    Don't play obnoxious profanity laden music around llittle kids.
    Thanks for asking.
