[QUOTE="ohiobass, post: 201627, member: 3941"] Been launching boats by myself for 30+ yrs. Anything from 20+ ft bassboats to 14 ft aluminum boats. When putting in water, I release the winch and let out about 1ft, still connected to boat, and then "lock" it. Then back into water, enough to have boat just barely float. Get up on trailer, release winch from boat, get on boat, and dock. When trailering, I back down trailer to correct depth. Load boat, winch up tight, get in Suburban, and drive off. 8) Only time I get wet is when water is waaaay high, like now! #-o Then, I just take my shoes off, roll up the jeans, and walk in the water. Too easy! 8) [/QUOTE]
