Ladders.for front of the trailer to climb onto the boat when launching?

[smile0784]

Im looking at making up a ladder on the front of the trailer to make it safer to get into the boat when launching and retrieving the boat.

Does anyone have one for a example?
Cos atm i put a foot onto of the winch post and its only a matter of time till i slip lol

Yea and if you do slip you could hurt yourself badly.

You mainly launch on your own mate ?

Yep majority of the time i launch solo.
The boat is set up to launch solo cos my wife cant reverse the boat. And if i have mates comes with me i normally beat them to the ramp so i launch the boat while waiting for them

1 foot on draw bar
1 foot on to top of winch post
Then a pull up and a knee onto top of boat and then walk around the cabin

Luck i got long legs

Ah ok. When I go my missus or my mate usually reverses the boat while I’m already on.
Didn’t take them both long to learn. My missus is quite good at it now actually. Last time we went she reversed it down perfectly in one go.

She can tow the boat forward but had trouble reversing.

Yea I can see how this could be a problem.

Takes a bit of practice but not that hard mate. My boats parked at the marina so my missus has learnt to reverse it and then drive it back to the allocated spot and reverse. Then when we get back bring he trailer back and I’ll drive it on she secures it and then we drive it back to the spot and she reverses it in between 2 other boats.

She only comes out maybe twice a year the main problem is when i waiting for mates to arrive i launch solo to save time amd cos i normally stuck in a line.
