Reverse trailer into the water to a
similar depth that was used for a “good launch” at this ramp. Too
deep (common mistake), approach speed will be high and equipment may
be damaged.
Drive the boat onto trailer to within
one metre of the latch.
When the boat has settled (2 seconds),
gently drive it up the last metre to the latch.
The latch will now slide over the snare
and the boat will be securely held.
Move boat & trailer 3 M (10ft) out of
the water.
Attach the winch hook to snare & winch
boat up so the bow is firmly on the roller or V-block.
Secure safety chains and tie downs as
usual.
Disengage latch for road travel.

When traversing boat ramps or roads
NEVER rely on the latch to hold the boat onto the trailer. Safety
chains and winch cable/strap and tie down straps should always be
used to secure the boat to the trailer. The latch should be
disengaged for road travel.
