Put a line / rope just a little shorter than the boat attached from the
bow the winch post of the trailer. Back down enough to float the boat a
little and let the boat drift back. Pull forward enough to get the line
without getting wet and pull the boat over to the dock. You want the rope
a little shorter than the boat so if the line falls overboard, it does not
get tangled in the prop.

Interesting idea. Thanks. I'll try it.
