Then attach the winch to the bow eye, and after making sure the anti-reverse ratchet on the winch is engaged, crank it up the rest of the way up until the bow lays firmly on the bow stop. In both cases simply aim the boat down the centerline, and (gently) drive or pull it on until it stops. Some rigs are designed for the boat to be driven directly onto the trailer, while others are meant for the boat to be floated on as you control it with ropes. Don’t submerge the trailer too deep, or the bow of the boat may float over the bunks and go off to the side.
