I realize I was very lucky. Normally even after I get the trailer in the water I have to "gun" the motor in reverse to get the boat off of the trailer. But this time I had ice between the carpeted bunks and the boat. It would have been a sad day if I had gotten crooked on the ramp and had to hit the brakes. I won't unhook my strap anymore until its in the water. Lesson learned. Lol
