[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 523000, member: 15636"] Remove OB and anything in the boat of weight Lower tongue,, block up stern, tie off stern to something immediately behind it, like a tree, etc. Raise up trailer jack and pull trailer out from under the hull When putting back on, with a friend (although I do them all by myself), I attach the trailer winch to the bow eye Crank the strap tight with the trailer positioned immediately in front of the hull where it needs to align Light UP on the end of the trailer while cranking the strap This starts to pull the hull up onto the bunks, while the bunks may be at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal After a bit, you won't even need to hold the trailer, the winch end will be suspended off the ground due to the tension on the strap Sometimes rocking the trailer winch end up & down while cranking on the strap makes it slide on better, as do viny gutter 'covers' on your bunks Then continue cranking it all the way back onto the trailer, have done this to tin hulls to 18' all by myself. No biggie ... just be sure to UNtie it from the tree you 1st tied it to to get it off the trailer, LOL! [/QUOTE]
