Default Boat fell off trailer

I don't like real steep ramps....I made the mistake of keeping the
chains on my boat trailer too tight, and did not know the ramp was
so steep (first time on it).....and the chains scratched my bumper
pretty deeply, making kind of a mess with it.

Well, this certainly couldn't be considered a steep ramp, but my
launch methods are modified from here on out. My favorite ramp is
twice as steep. If it had started to slip off on that ramp, no doubt
the whole rig would have come crashing down.

Seems like I have to learn the same lessons over and over again, but
I'm pretty sure this is one I'll get right the first time.
