I have a 205FS Aqua Sport with a bunk trailer. The boat launch is pretty steep making cranking the boat on the trailer tough. I read on here about silicon spray and gave it a try. What a difference!!! I am anxious to see how launching goes...

Re: Silicon Spray Believer..

Can't you just float the boat on if its steep?
One launch here is steep and I find it easier to load my 22ft there than the shallow ramp.

Just make sure you use a safety rope or chain........ many people swear bythe silicone and many have had their boats just slide off the trailer!

I cant back in to far to retrieve or the boat tends to float over the guides on the trailer so it winds up be a lot of cranking to get it up to the bow stop. Pretty much I am pulling the boat up the ramp using the winch for 4 feet or so.

I never was brave enough to take the strap off before the boat was in the water so slipping off the trailer when launching isn't an issue.
