Oh, you use your boat engine to drive the boat up onto the trailer. The two or three different ramp sites I've been using allow a more gentle approach. The water is pretty deep and the ramp angle ain't bad, so with a rope attached to the bow eye, I can physically pull the boat a good distance onto the trailer. I then attach the winch strap and crank the boat onto the trailer the rest of the way. Did that with the original Yo Ho and as a result, there wasn't a mark on her bottom. Do you have "glides" on your bunks, or do you use any sprays to increase slipperyness? |

The technique differs with the Princecraft - on gentle slope ramps, I drive it up, on steep ramps, I can pull it onto the trailer and then winch it up. With the Ranger, it's strictly drive on - the only time I use the winch is to secure the boat to the trailer. Do you have "glides" on your bunks, or do you use any sprays to increase slipperyness? Wax. I wax the carpet down in sunlight (the bunks are black) using regular old bees wax or canning wax. Do it twice a year. With the special trailer I had for the Contender, those were rollers and that was a piece of cake to get on and off. |

Perfect slope, my sailboat easily floated off the trailer and was a snap to re-load. Sure wish the local builders could learn how to build a decent ramp. |
