Backing your trailer down the ramp..??

[PokerRun388]

How do you do it?

Personally, I always use the side mirrors,( with and without the boat on the trailer) and I angle the mirrors down a little bit so I can see the trailer wheels/fenders....

Very rarely will I ever use the rear-view mirror, especially w/o the boat on the trailer.... This works well for me!



How about you all? Rear view mirror, Side mirrors? Maybe both?



Have a great afternoon everyone!

I should've know this wasn't a Carbon style topic




I use the side mirrors but I've only done it 3 times.

This is exactly how I do it. I never look in the rear-view mirror.
The side mirrors are it for me. If I see the boat coming out the left mirror, I turn my wheel to the left and the same with the right...Thats the way I learned and has been that way ever since.

Newbie!

I'm usually launching and retrieving the boat not the trailer.

I bring a forklift in the back of the truck. I detach the boat, unload the forklift, hook the forklift to the boat, put the boat in the water, pull the trailer out of the water, disconnect the forklift, drive the forklift back to the truck, load the forklift back in the truck, back the truck down to the trailer I left on the ramp, connect the trailer, and park the truck and trailer. The whole process takes less time than it took me to write this fictional story on my phone.

I want to see the last pic in this sequence. I know the forks won't go down that low. No way they drop that in the water. That scares me just looking at it lol
