[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 450367, member: 12995"] I 29 years of boating, I have never tried to drive a boat onto a trailer. I'm so used to walking it out and pushing it past the trailer and then pulling it back in and centering it on the bunks or rollers as I hook up the manual winch strap. Our boat ramp is not level when the water is low and I might have to reposition the trailer 5-10 times to hope to load the boat evenly. I was out past knee deep yesterday getting the sprint boat hooked up. There is a flat spot on our ramp and the water is at the worst height right now. Sometimes you open the truck door and you're standing in the water. The side guides really help keep a boat straight when loading in river current. I've been loading/unloading by myself all 29 years of boating. Here's my Lowe from this past Wed. [/QUOTE]
