boat trailer question

[macojoe]

oteps My problem probably is backing the trailer in too deep along with the rollers not adjusted right. I normally winch it the last 6 or 7 feet. I would like to be able to load it myself easily. My wife wants to go fishing next year and my son will be old enough to take along. Normally I have someone pull the trailer out while I stand on the dock and try to hold the boat in the right place. One of these days I will fall in and get ran over by the trailer.
What are those guide poles made out of? The ones I have seen are pvc but they were for smaller boats. They look like they would just snap off. remember I am a new boater, I might just run into them.
Thanks for all of the comments, i would like to get this thing figured out this fall so I am ready in the spring.

We can tell you all you need to know, but it is going to take doing it to get it right!!

First I would back down till the back rollers are just under the water, this should be a good start for ya. You may have to go deeper, but to deep the back is going to float off the trailer and get you all messed up!
Thats were the guide ons come in handy, they will keep the boat centered, but they can still let the boat uneven if you are to deep.

Yes the guide on's are PVC, but they bend pretty easy and come back fine, as long as you don't run them flat!

If loaded right there is no reason for you to be holding the rope when they are pulling out, and they don't need to be going 100 MPH, just a nice slow pull ahead. So you no fall in!!

The wind is not your friend!! Just be careful and slow down some, and you will get it, when you think you are deep enough, you are probably to deep,you no need to be deep at all!
