Default Serious problem in Loading the boat back on Trailer

You might be backing the trailer too deep into the water. The way I do it
is to back the trailer not quite far enough for the boat to float onto it.
I then winch it on and rock the boat back and forth until the rails set
where they need to be.

I have a Starcraft 14" boat, and a NorthTrail bunk trailer. The bunk

guide
is pretty short and it is 90 degree - similar to this photo:

I am facing a problem.. sometimes when I try to load the boat back on the
trailer, the boat doesn't align correctly on the wooden track. and
sometimes it flows side to side. In a bad days, I have to try 10 times
before getting it correctly. This is really annoying.!!!!! But it is so
weird, in some days, I can do it in one time.

The worst situation I have experienced: I couldn't load the boat, and

other
boaters came into help but no one were able to do it. Finally I had to

pull
the boat to the land and those guys helped me to lift the boat (yes, man
power) to put it on the right track. That was pretty embarassing. Oh man..

I talked to a local marina, the dude there suggested me to install

something
similar to this (a Loading guide post)

Will that help??
