When you are aground in an outboard boat and you are not taking on water what is your first step to attempt to free your vessel?

Answer 1

If you find yourself aground in an outboard boat and are not taking on water, the first step is to assess the situation and check for any obstructions around the boat. Then, try to shift the weight of passengers and gear towards the back of the boat to help lift the bow. You can also gently reverse the engine to create a little thrust, which may help to dislodge the boat. If safe, you might also consider using a paddle or pole to push off from the ground.
