Agreed depends on size of the boat. If it's a heavy boat you may need trailer in deeper.. at least get the bunks wet so the boat slides easier. My older 18.5 ft fiberglass is a beast if the bunks are out that far. A lot depends in the slope of the ramps as well. Each ramp, trailer and boat will give you a different set of what's best
Power loading is illegal in several states. It trashes the ramp with the prop wash. Plus it’s bad boating edict, because the wash can hinder other boaters at the dock trying to load. That being said to each their own. I just like giving a different perspective.
Let's not forget this is all fine and dandy, for a little tiny pee shooter boat like that. Now let's make it a 21 ft bowrider, and the wind is blowing like crazy. I guarantee it would be a whole different video.
FYI, get bunks completely wet then pull out, and go past half way if you have anything over 24ft with a large engine. My tri-room is 27ft with a 300, if I leave the bunks half way, the boat will never get up onto the trailer (sits low in the rear). #alwayspowerload
@marlon_products either of he fraser river boats launches in hope would be good to show how to load with a current. Depending on the water level of course
As far as vacuuming trailer and boats and trailers are different and you'll have to find that out on your own. There is no set depth like just so the fenders are showing although that's a good starting point or a roller trailer.
This video is so wrong. I have watched literally thousands of people retrieve their boat. They first back their vehicle in the water until all four tires of their vehicle are submerged, then they come in at an angle with their boat at full throttle until they smash into the wench, they pull their boat halfway up the boat ramp and stop. They unload their boat with all the coolers, and then they turn the motor off and trim it up. After taking a few selfies, they exit the boat ramp 👍
I don't think this is considered power loading. Power loading is when your boat is already on the trailer but it's not seated all the way up so you rev your motor to move the boat up. As you can see here, he gets out of the boat to winch it to its proper seating position.
i am not that acrobatic to climb out of my boat and it is too big and heavy no way i can reach strap sitting on trailer so i just put trailer in deeper and pull boat on with a long rope then attach strap from shore
Get the entire bunks wet first. This works great with a tiny boat, you can't winch on a 27ft boat very easily.

I think the part a lot of people get wrong is backing a trailer 😅
Why do it on such a calm day on slick water?? Need to show it on a windy day

tbh, all throughout the west coast and arizona, i’ve never heard that in my life. good to keep in the back of my head though!
you're making dum shit up also this whole video is incredibly bad

^This is filmed in Canada.

You're right! Because this is a 150lbs capacity there was no need to get them all wet.
Get all bunks wet then pull half way out trailer 😊
Yes, this would only be necessary for bigger/heavier boats. It's a 1250lbs capacity trailer so no need to wet them first
Find it funny that's the kakawa lake boat launch in hope. Can't mistake it
It is such a great and calm spot to shoot a video lol But we will do it again in a different spot. Any ideas?

Yeees!
I feel like it’s always a race if someone is next to you 😂
I drive mine on and then just a couple cranks and pull it out.
Pro status
Montana or Wyoming XD
Most boats too heavy to hand crank them up. Need to power load them on the trailer

Is that power loading? Not being sarcastic. I wanna do that. But it says no power loading at the ramp. Can I still do it..?

Good catch! It is such a great and calm spot to shoot a video lol
But my dad drives the boat all the way up and does the straps
Kakawa lake
Good eye!
What boy, that’s a Micky mouse boat 🤷♂️🫣

Power load thing instead of cranking it the 5 feet and get out of the way
