[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 452912, member: 21536"] Sure, but each boat is going to be different. Back the trailer in until about 2 feet of bunks are still out of the water (2' is just a guess on my part). Pull the boat on with a bow line as far as you can. Then hook the winch cable/strap and winch it up snug to the bow stop pad. As you slowly pull the trailer out the boat will hopefully settle right down onto the bunks. If you feel you are really straining to winch it up, then back the trailer in a little more. If you feel the boat is floating all over the place, then pull the trailer out just a little. You could also probably drive it on. I quit doing that cause I would have a hard time crawling over the bow. Either way, backing the trailer in just far enough but not too far makes things easier. [/QUOTE]
