[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 450493, member: 21536"] I guess I'm lucky that every ramp I've ever used (and am likely to use) has docks. Makes it a lot easier to deal with strong wind or currents. I never drove the boat onto the trailer. From the dock, I pulled it on with the bow line, winched it up and the side guides kept it centered. I do have to wade out in about 12" to 18" of water to get to the winch (I ain't balancing on a trailer tongue). I keep a pair of rubber boots in the car if I don't feel like getting wet. I also like the tall guide-on's. I couldn't see my old trailer in my rear view mirror while backing down a ramp, but I could see the tall side guide ons. [/QUOTE]
