Does anyone have some tips to loading on a bunk trailer? I'm new to trailer boating. I've been boating for years but only occasionally had to pull boats out of the water. In any event I have a 21' boat with a shallow V and a bunk trailer. I generally do not like powerloading, I prefer to either hook up and winch on entirely or just idle onto the bunks and winch most of the way. I've seen guys have close calls powerloading before, and I get nervous with my truck as my parking brake isn't real strong against rolling backwards and I worry rocking the rig too much with the boat could cause it my transmission to pop out of gear.
I've found that I really have to submerge the trailer to get the boat on there, and then it's a pain to get the stern to align and sit on the bunks properly. Is there a trick to it? I feel bad typing up the ramp while I try to get my boat sitting properly on the trailer.
