Our water is not deep enough and the ramps are real steep so in order for me to winch on, my anchor goes under the bow roller or trailer drops off ramp. That's just how it works here. We get lots of practice as we launch year round:grin:Kinda funny, Chapmans seems to indicate it is rogue to power load. :smt043
I like not power loading. Safer for people, equipment, and does not harm the ramp. I do not seem to need a superlong-deep ramp to get deep enough to load. Why would someone think "rookie or strange" if a trailer is set in front of a vessel tied to the side peir, backed under in a deep set, boat is pulled forward to about 8 feet from the bow stop by bow cleat lines, and then winched on the rest of the way? I have seen people that could do 180's while power loading, most are not that good. Just watch the ramp. MM
