Do you have to roll the boat all the way on or does it roll off when you quit giving the engine throttle?

I don't drive on - it's generally bad for the ramp - blowing out the dirt below the ramp and forming a deep hole over time from guys doing the same thing, again, again......
I let it roll off under control........then use my dock lines to ease it up about 1/2 way back onto the trailer. I then connect the cable, and winch it up easily across the rollers. I do this alone, or with assistance.
