How to safely drive your boat onto your trailer + trailer catch and release

Many boat owners don't know how to correctly and safely drive a boat onto their trailer. There are 2 main points to remember, the first is confidence. Always be confident, and remember you can always throw your outboard into reverse almost immediately if you get in trouble. The second important point is how deep to put your trailer into the water. The correct depth to reverse your trailer in is so that the boat is almost floating. Typically a visual guide is when your trailer tires are almost submerged, but it can differ depending on your trailer. If you boat starts floating whilst still attached to the trailer, then the trailer is too deep. Do not worry about putting your trailer in the water, it's a specialised trailer designed to be put in the water! Always evaluate your conditions, such as where the wind is blowing, where the current or side is going to push you, etc. Another good trick is to approach at a decent speed. This minimises the boats tendency to be pushed our of alignment by the conditions. When the boat is on the trailer, you can quiet easily align the boat correctly on the rollers by turning the motor while it is on a low throttle. If you boat doesn't move, then back the boat off slightly(no all the way off the trailer), turn the motor and go up the trailer again. Subscribe for more awesome boating videos!
