By using only a trolling motor, I won't have any power to spare so,
if I can get it to self-guide, the better off I'll be.

On lots of ramps, the angle's all wrong anyway for driving the boat onto
the
trailer.



The lake I'm fishing doesn't even have a paved launch ramp so I'll probably
be making some kind of extension to the tongue to keep the car from getting
stuck. Most of the trailers I've seen have straight tongues and a sawsall
cut, a little drilling and a length of tubing that will just slip inside the
tongue and I can gain a bunch of length.

One spot, two years ago, was just the right slope for the deck of the
utility trailer to rest level with the water while I loaded and launched a
small Penguin Pedal boat.
