Boat Tips for ROUGH Water and BIG Waves

My recommendation is to watch the weather and if you don't have to go out in big waves, don't go...but if you do, here are some tips for you!
1.) Make sure to ALWAYS wear a PFD (Onyx A24 IMPULSE Lifejacket: goo.gl/Xb0f8W)
2.) ALWAYS wear your kill switch
3.) Make sure your bilge pump works
4.) Make sure to lock down your gear so it doesn't get beat up/ruined
5.) Trim 1/4 way up, hydraulic jackplate down and run under a controlled speed
6.) Run the troughs when possible and try to run into the wind (wind blowing at your face) if you're able - this gives you better boat control.
7.) When running with the wind at your back, directly into the waves, slow down and maintain control over the boat
8.) DON'T RUSH - DRIVE CONTROLLED, RELAXED AND TAKE YOUR TIME
Be safe on the water folks!
