I normally load the boat with the trailer fenders just underwater (every ramp varies a bit). Attach and tighten the winch hook. Then if my rear end is off center, I back the trailer in a few more inches and center it while my wife pulls us out. Works great if you've got 2 people. Hope that helps.

If you are going to move it manually, don't do it while on the upslope. If anything, push while the boat is on a down slope (bow down). I don't have an uneven ramp, but still the boat can get off by 3 or 4 inches. I pull over the hump to the down slope. I'm always able to move the boat the 3 or 4 inches I need to center it, even by myself, and my boat is quite a bit heavier than yours. BKH

Anyone out there have this problem? I have a 93 ski nautique and a single axle nautique trailer with the single turnbuckle. If the ramp is not perfectly level (they usually never are) the boat never sits evenly between the fenders on the trailer. As much as we try to push it over as we drive up the ramp it is simply too heavy. Any hints on loading the boat when using uneven ramps? Thanks!
