The way I launch is very quick......... using the stem of the trailer, and the bow line set in a triangle around the bow cleats. Anyway, I wrap the line on the trailer stem, then let the boat just roll off the rollers in a slow controlled release by taking a loop off the line till it starts to slip.

Several times a season I hear " wow, you must have done this a few times" ...........

It's the cranking back up where I could use a power winch because I don't submerge my trailer wheels......the rear axle water only to just below the hub if possible.

Sure I can still crank a boat up no problemo, but there are hot days when I'd rather push a button !!
