    Since you need help launching and retrieving your boat I'm going to assume you have minimal if any experience backing a trailer. If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance. If you don't, go to a large parking lot and practice BEFORE you go to the launch. Backing isn't really that hard but you gotta do it a few times to get the hang of it. You will be glad you did and so will everyone at the ramp.

    Have your lines ready to go and easily accessible. I like really long lines that way someone can stand on the dock with lines in hand while you back the boat into the water. You dock person should have one line from the bow and one from the stern so they can easily control the vessel and pull it to the dock.

    Don't forget the plug!!! If you remove the plug whenever you haul it, make sure to leave it somewhere that is highly visible so you are less likely to forget it when next you launch it.

    Retrieving the boat is a bit tougher and takes some practice to get good at. I like to back the trailer in just enough so that the I have to power on the last 2-3 feet.  Basically line up as straight as you can and approach the trailer slowly. if you have a bunk trailer you should have little issue centering the boat on the trailer. With rollers it can be slightly harder. Either way make sure you are centered or very nearly so. Hook up you trailer winch and sung it up tight. 

    Now as most will tell you the object is to launch the boat in the water and not on the asphalt. Therefore when towing around town it is best to have safety chains in the bow and straps in the stern. Go ahead...as me how I know.  :lol:

     

    If you have a friend with you go over what your plan is in advance so that each of you know what the other will be trying to do.  That way you aren't screaming at each other while everyone is laughing (or screaming) at you. Also assume your will be walking in the water and dress appropriately.

    Lastly, ignore Polaris550, he is as crazy as a shit house rat but completely harmless. 

     can back a trailer not too bad been towin sleds for awhile

    Sorry I won't hijack your thread...what's your concern? 

    Make sure the motor is trimmed up, plugs in, rope is tied to the boat and have at it.

    Trailer depth is a big part of it...learn where your boat is unweighted and not quite floating 

    k tanks
