If this is in the wrong forum...sorry!<br /><br />From what I could read on here, apparently I might be power loading my boat onto the trailer. The marina I store at does the launching for us. So being totally new to boating, I just follow their directions. When loading, I line the boat up on center, and get it between the carpeted bars on the trailer, and it pretty much centers itself if its a bit off. But then the guy has me power it up all the way to the bumpstop, and he attaches the hook and strap without any wenching. <br /><br />What are the pros and cons of this? I don't want to damage my boat just cuz this is the way they want to do things since it seems faster. The guy also doesn't have to get in the water, he just stands on the trailer. I've already noticed some negatives since the hull of my boat has some nicks and scuffs right where it hits the bowstop. Any suggestions?
