When I launch, before I back up remove straps and motor toter. I then put around 12" slack into the winch strap. Back in, and when the boat moves a little- stop. Then I'll walk behind, step on the front of the trailer, unhook, and push it off jumping on the front of the boat when it begins to move freely. On return I note the water level on the rear fender when it loads the best. After that back trailer to that level, drive it up just short of the stop. Then jump out, winch the last few inches, step onto the ramp and drive it up. At least on my boat most ramps I can do this without boots. If the ramp is pretty shallow, I will use boots to walk to and from front of trailer when it is cold.
