Another solution is to back the trailer further into the water. I stop
backing when the coupler is just breaking the surface. With the hook
attached, I winch it right into the bow stop about 3 inches below the rub
rail. Factors in my favor are a long-bed full-sized Chevy pickup and a
launch ramp reserved for sailboats only (steeper). I agree that a bow
roller attached to the wheel end of the trailer tongue would be a nice
feature.
