Here's what I had to say last April wrt tilting trailers and a certain
generation of P19s:

Wow, Bill, I got home just in time to add a (hopefully) meaningful
comment. Since our boats are so close in birth date, I presume we have
the same trailer: a galvanized Shoreline with 10" wheels and tilt
mechanism. If so, your answer is that you really can't use the tilt
feature unless the boat is way too far back on the trailer. [Actually,
you can ... with application of brute force in a basically
unproductive way.]
Fortunately, this is not a problem. Just go ahead and back her in 'til
the bunks are mostly covered. The 10" wheels make this possible on all
but the shallowest ramps w/o getting the vehicle wheels in the water.
Use Bearing Buddies and let the bearings cool before launching. No
sweat.
