[QUOTE="remm, post: 221321, member: 821"] When by myself I back down into the water until the boat is floating a bit off the trailer, then jump into the boat, reach over the bow and unhoook the strap. Boat usually floats off easily enough to tie to the dock. Sometimes if nobodys around I'll just back it off the trailer and tie it to the other side of the dock before going to park. I had a close call with unhooking on the ramp and backing down, goddam boat almost floated away on me before I could get out of the truck and grab it so I am too chicken shit to try do that again by myself. Once you do it a few times, it all becomes second nature. As ahab stated, just remember to take the tie downs off/put plug in, and make dam sure you put your truck in park before you get out (parking brake not a bad idea either)- seems pretty common sense- heard of a more than a few occasions of trucks in the lake.
