Re: How to set up your trailer....?
There are some pretty cheap wireless remote winchs on the market.
That's half the battle.
Second half is keeping the boat straight in the water with wind and tides.
I have occasionally tied a line to the windward side dock cleat to hold my boat centered in the ramp. (Of course you need a dock on both sides of the ramp).
Keep a long pole and a boat hook on your tow rig.
When launching, before getting fully into water, I unhook the winch line and tie a line from the bow, through the trailer winch post to a front stake pocket of my truck: leaving a bit of slack if the ramp is not too steep.
Back up, let boat float off the trailer pull forward a bit.
Transfer the line to the dock.
I've also stopped trying to keep my feet dry.
