Boat trailering

[bgreene]

Key to launching alone is a LONG bow line.

Not to be a know it all just sharing how I do it quickly alone :

1. Back in …roller or bunk no matter and I’ve had both.
2. Pull bow line tightly from connected to boat to the stem on trailer wrapping it 4-6 times around the trailer stem ( it sticks above the crank)
3. Then release the trailer cable from boat .
4. Start unwrapping the bow line from trailer slowly till it starts to slip and allowing the boat to slide off trailer.
5. Let the boat completely glide off trailer while you feed bow line.
6. Then tie off the bow line to whatever is convenient - dock pole or whatever and go park your vehicle with trailer.

Folks have said “ wow you’ve got that down hu”
I should since been doing it for 20 -+ years
