Now for unloading its simple, hook rope to bow eye and othe end to trailer and back down ramp till boat floats off. Then get out and unhook rope from trailer, pull it over to peir or beach it out of everyone else's way go park truck return and head out.




What ever you do please please please PLEASE get your stuff ready before you pull down the ramp, ( un hooking boat straps rigging poles etc...) this allows a fast and friendly launch for everyone. Sorry to rant but it just urkes me to high heaven when people do this
My problem is, my boat will not stay at the roller if I shut the motor down. This isn't the safest way to do it so I need to change. I'm not backed in to far. Might have a problem with my trailer bunks. They may have become to slick or worn. I would love to pull up and shut down, hook and go. I guess I should start there.

Having fished bass tournys for years, I certianly appriciate proper ramp protocal. Nothing worse than somebody holding up the ramp having no consideration of others.
