There's no dock alongside the
boat ramp, and the drop from the gunnel to the trailer fender puts me in
pretty deep water. Crabbing my way from the fenders to the front of the
trailer on the frame rails...well...I'm sure to fall in. Frequently. The
problems with single-handed retrieval at our marina is one of the
reasons I'm looking for another marina.
====================================

I once found myself in that situation and ended up going over the bow
and down the front trailer post. I've actally seen a few trailers set
up with foot pegs on the front post.
