[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 324483, member: 7544"] I grew up fishing the local rivers. When the water levels are up (which was very often), the current was so strong that power loading was the only option as you would never get the boat lined up with the trailer using a rope from the bank. Once you learn to power load one while dealing with strong currents and sometimes wind, loading from a lake seems simple by comparison. Others have already pointed this out, but IMO the depth of and how far you back your trailer into the water are the most important things you can do to make loading easy. Once you figure out what works best with your boat/trailer, loading will be easy and only require a small amount of throttle to put the boat all the way up to your front stop. [/QUOTE]
