Turn the trailer into the wind and that helps a ton.. he has a small boat, I run a 24 footer and load onto a trailer in 20mph wind and have little problems. Whats even worse is current and wind but the concept is the same, the boat is easy to steer into the wind and current.
I have a 22' jet boat, can put it on a dime, but, you sir are correct, high winds and no prop in the water, make for some difficult loading. This loader would be awesome.
@@elcajondavid1 as you are backing in you angle the trailer. we can't power load here because prop wash erodes the bottom where there is no cement that can cause issues. anyway, I TRY to angle my trailer a little toward the dock so when I am pulling the boat with ropes I have a better shot at getting the boat pushed onto the trailer between the fenders. I hope that makes sense.
@@therosses5. Then you must have a wide boat ramp with little use of it to do that, because most boat ramps are very busy and people will lose their cookies if you take up the whole boat ramp.
It’s great to hear you are still out there it’s a double edge sword. It’s nice to be alone out there but it’s also nice to have a person or two with you.
It looks like it’s bungee cords and your boat tie down. Great idea and not a lot of work for it to work. Just size the back bungee cords to be stretched at the front with enough play to allow your boat in the middle. There should be enough tension on them to hold everything up while your trying to load your boat.
This looks like a great idea. I understand those of you that disregard this, however for less experienced boaters and even those with years of experience but are getting older and are finding it more difficult, this looks like a good idea. I myself have no problems loading my boats in awkward ramps but can see the usefulness for others.
@@scootersonlyrepair6773 so are you against new ideas? Remember, it's because of experimenting and thinking outside of the box that completely new concepts of doing things are discovered.
I don’t know why there’s so many haters. There’s a lot of different angled ramps to load from and I believe this is a good idea. Not all ramps are an easy winch on ramp. Thanks for the video. Cool idea.

I remember my second time ever taking my.first boat out. We had a cold front come in. 3 to 4 ft rollers. My dumb self thought it was a good idea to find a creek channel.to hide from wind.

@@richardharris3896 And...he just made a simple observation and compliment of the video he’d just watched, which is very normal and usual behavior. LoL, smh.
Ha too funny! I'm with ya! Kiddos at the launch with you = stress x 100. Heck finding a place to park is bad enough! I always thought someone needs to invent a trailer that folds down so you can stuff it under your truck and just take up one parking space...
Wish I had this years ago. Up through the late 90's I owned a 1957 Crestliner runabout converted to a simple fishing boat. 35 HP motor. Location was on Lake Taneycomo, Branson Missouri. Launching no problem. Lake has a wicked current at times, and fairly narrow at the ramp we used. 4 generators and up to 10 spillways from Table Rock Lake. If water was running re trailering was sometimes difficult. Sometimes it took a couple of tries. I learned quickly to go downstream of the trailer and come up very slow at a slight angle. Somehow, we always got it loaded and back home safely.
Go into to gumboots and wader business know. Someone still had to get out to get the car and trailer. And that preson is still getting wet. Really know I think about it. The thing is a bit of a gimmick. The only way that thing would be good. If it parked your car when you get the boat off the trailer and then it gets your car when you get back.
@@battlefish8366 I'm not going to buy one. I just want to know how in detail how it works. One video I watched showed a manual crank winch & it was just winding the boat in.
@@battlefish8366 One person ALWAYS has to go get the truck/trailer - what's your point? Single boaters do it ALL THE TIME. You simply tie your boat and go get your gear. All this shows is that you can completely load your boat single-handedly from the rear - which is really handy when you are by yourself. Even better when there is a wind.
This system is very simple, everything can be seen from the video. The ends of the cables are connected in the middle and have short tubes for protection. Then the cable runs to the struts at the ends of the trailer, and there it returns along the rollers to the center of the cable connection. In the center, both cables from different sides are connected through the ring and go to the winch. When the boat starts pushing the cables, it pulls both cables of different sides from the winch, and the winch spins, releasing the cables. Nobody pulls the boat, it goes into the trailer itself, pushed by the motor. The disadvantage of this system is that the cables are pulled along the sides of the boat. In doing so, they can peel off the paint or even the aluminum itself. You also need very strong stands on the trailer. And the boat must crawl onto the trailer by itself, otherwise it will be very difficult to tighten, since the cables are pulled through the racks at the ends of the trailer, and all the load will be on them. Conclusion - hemorrhoids are more than good ...
Most problems with loading is the fact the trailer is backed in the water to deep. Pull ahead until the fenders are out of the water a bit more. The bunks on the trailer will do the same thing.
@@chrismarks2881 Agreed! If the trailer is at the correct depth this is useless. Only thing is if the ramp is SUPER steep maybe...the bunks aren't as effective in centering the boat.
I used to load a boat once a week and I was good, but even then in crossing tailwind, this would have been nice. Now when I land a boat 5 times a year, even nicer. Very clever whether you need it or not!

if 1988 is your birth year you are a millenial. Most of the critics are more likely middle aged Gen Y and X that feel the need to show how MANLY they are. CAUSE MAGA!!!!! wooo!!!!!! It is a nice idea for solo loading, especially in high wind, or in a boat with a large t top.
It's not even really doing anything. It's winding up slack in the strap, it's NOT cranking the boat up on the trailer. Why not just have a snap clip that catches the bow eye when you drive the boat up to the winch post?
@@chiphill4856 Did you watch the whole video? The outboard is used to load boat on trailer, but that device keeps it centered. On a windy day for a single person out boating or fishing, this is a great setup.
Great idea I did not patent back in the mid 70s 🤣 I broke the watch my dad gave me the prior Xmas when winding the boat up, the crank slipped under tension and spun back around crushing it on my wrist. Great idea 👍👍👍
Nice job by the captain, in that crosswind!! The trailer could use another set of side rollers, a little further forward too, so it wasn't so reliant on the ropes. Pretty nice idea!
I dont operate jet boats but my local fishing spots are all on a fast moving river and thats the technique i use. Works much better than submerging the trailer. Also keeps a helpers feet dry of you have one.
this would be a great idea for someone that does not have the original trailer for there boat. I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to get your boat loaded straight when you don't have the original boat trailer. especially a trailer with rollers.
to whom is responsible for this: yer a frikkin genious sir/maam so simple and does an amazing job even with trailer more shallow (not as far in the water) as many have to be to load... helps when windy but is harder to line up right.... and think a time saved not backin up or havin to have wet feet when its below freezin.... impressed over here in Arkansas
My second time ever loading my boat onto a trailer was by myself, in a 50-80km/h nearly perfectly 90 degree cross wind, almost went insane trying to get it lined up wish I had one of these...
50-80 more like 5-10 no one is loading a boat in 50-80 dude. If they were and did they would tell you details not some vage bull shit of what you got going on here. That's like saying i crashed my car between 35 and 55 and lived without a scratch. Bcommon
@@andrewwescott3223 sorry I didn't finish the story, after 45 minutes of pulling my hair out I gave up and parked the boat in the slip and left it for the night.
Look again: the rope is doubled around the guide posts and wound onto the outside of the web drum - you can see it working after 0:30 - as the boat pushes the loop of the rope forward it's pulling rope off the drum, which winds in the web strap. I'm not sure this is the best solution to keep the bow centred, but it appears to work
Maybe start by not driving the trailer in so deep that the carpeted bunks are not completely submerged, say leave about 1/3 in the air then use the motor to drive all the way to the stop. The way this was set up the boat continues to float above the bunks drifting side to side. Clever device but usually not needed.
Although putting a boat back on the trailer can be awkward in wind or with a cross current, the simplest solutions usually work best, and fail least often. Anybody who can assemble and align this system could probably fit better and bigger rollers on the trailer. Aim the boat at the centre of the trailer, and the rollers will grab the keel and hold you in place. Most trailers come with a few rollers, so buy and fit a few more.
Why do it tough if there is a device like this to make it easy. Great idea. BTW I CAN load a boat but in windy conditions and solo this makes it easier
I’m not sure I understand the point. You still have to reach over the front and put the safety chain on. You still have to drive the boat onto the trailer straight. You still use the outboard to drive up the trailer, and you still have to use the winch for the last little bit of tension. Asides from maybe helping marginally to assist initial cantering of vessel to trailer, what exactly does this little complicated trailer addition achieve?
blackdiamondmarine ...actually I had a similar but far less complicated device that did not require the wires. I drove the boat straight up on to the trailer where the spring loaded snap hooked on from trailer to boat. I then stepped off the front of the boat and on to essentially dry land then drove off. Once on the wash down area I would chain the boat etc for travel. Launching was even easier. Before backing down the ramp, release safety larches and REVERSE the spring tension on the snap hook. Reverse the trailer into the water. Climb on and over the front. Apply a half second of forward power, the snap releases and the boat slides into the water. Berth the boat to the wharf, park the car and return. I would not own another boat without one.
What the world coming to? When I was young we were real men and destroyed our boat, trailer and truck to get it loaded up. We were men back then......stupid ones but men just the same.... This is one of the SMARTEST INVENTIONS ever. I hope you patent it and get rich.
Wow im handy cap and that would be nice. You would not believe how many people sit and watch me struggle on a windy day to get the boat on the trailer sometimes. Actually have slipped on a mossy ramp and had people laugh and not help. I only got one leg so that would be F-N sweet.
Nice. Where I trailer usually has 8kt current and 10-15kt wind, that would help a lot of folks! One thing though, that trailer way too deep in the water- easier when the bunks help guide you in.
Great idea! And to all the nay-sayers on this post, why don’t you start pumping your own water to bathe in or start using a wood-burning stove to cook on? The internet you’re posting your negative thoughts on was also, at one time, thought to be lazy man’s technology. Go have a refrigerated beer in your air conditioned house and shut up.
That looks very interesting. I haven’t figured out how it really works. Is the winch pulling in? Or do you have to maintain the bow on a point? How do you know you are on the exact point ? This could be a life changer
If you watch closely you will see that nothing pulls the boat onto the trailer. He is power loading with his outboard. The strap does hook onto the bow eye but the strap does not tighten up until the boat is all the way on. The strap almost got caught on the winch handle that was spinning at warp speed towards the end. I wonder what type of damage is done to the finish on the sides of the boat by the lines that are helping to center it on the trailer?
Lol. If you need this your special. Trailers called drive on trailers do this for you. Fyi most all trailers are driving on including pontoons. Set at the right depth you should auto magically line up when you hit the middle guide. Then drive it home once it straightens up. Geez they dont call it drive on for nothing.
Pretty cool, but I wouldn't want those cable resting on the side of my fiberglass boat. If I had aluminum like yours, it may not be as big of an issue. Still pretty slick!
I wouldn't need something like this. It's a cool idea but I just idle mine onto the trailer. No need to use the engine to push it on the trailer. I turn off the motor jump off the front. Crank the winch up and I'm done. Easy. Takes less then two mins
Yeah, it looks like all this does is help CENTER the boat a bit.. I don't see anything that actually pulls the boat onto the trailer.. But maybe that's all he's trying to accomplish and I guess that helps a little if you feel like you need it..

Why do it tough if there is a device like this to make it easy. Great idea. BTW I CAN load a boat but in windy conditions and solo this makes it easier
Absolutely brilliant. What more can you say!
I’m not sure I understand the point. You still have to reach over the front and put the safety chain on. You still have to drive the boat onto the trailer straight. You still use the outboard to drive up the trailer, and you still have to use the winch for the last little bit of tension. Asides from maybe helping marginally to assist initial cantering of vessel to trailer, what exactly does this little complicated trailer addition achieve?
blackdiamondmarine ...actually I had a similar but far less complicated device that did not require the wires. I drove the boat straight up on to the trailer where the spring loaded snap hooked on from trailer to boat. I then stepped off the front of the boat and on to essentially dry land then drove off. Once on the wash down area I would chain the boat etc for travel. Launching was even easier. Before backing down the ramp, release safety larches and REVERSE the spring tension on the snap hook. Reverse the trailer into the water. Climb on and over the front. Apply a half second of forward power, the snap releases and the boat slides into the water. Berth the boat to the wharf, park the car and return. I would not own another boat without one.
Pete Smith did u post your invention to YTube?
Alan Whisler this is a very similar device...but not as good ...also look up the abc tv inventors review ruclips.net/video/ZtZA-l1TLnU/видео.html
If you have to ask all that no help will help you
What the world coming to? When I was young we were real men and destroyed our boat, trailer and truck to get it loaded up. We were men back then......stupid ones but men just the same....
This is one of the SMARTEST INVENTIONS ever.
I hope you patent it and get rich.
That woulda saved me a lot of embarrassment lol
Trailer guides & top of fenders just above water works fine for me!
Hello, this is a great invention. Are there any plans of this or where can you buy the parts?
Yep 15 years here also. Can’t find a price for it anywhere. Someone suggested it was around $1200. Ouch
WOw..wish everyone was that fast in/out..nice..plans available?
Wow im handy cap and that would be nice. You would not believe how many people sit and watch me struggle on a windy day to get the boat on the trailer sometimes. Actually have slipped on a mossy ramp and had people laugh and not help. I only got one leg so that would be F-N sweet.
That would be considered power loading most marinas in eastern Michigan would not let you load this way!
Nice. Where I trailer usually has 8kt current and 10-15kt wind, that would help a lot of folks! One thing though, that trailer way too deep in the water- easier when the bunks help guide you in.
That is a very nice thing on this trailer is that for all size trailers please let me know
I say BRAVO great idea!!! Wish you would have posted more information about where to buy.
Great idea! And to all the nay-sayers on this post, why don’t you start pumping your own water to bathe in or start using a wood-burning stove to cook on? The internet you’re posting your negative thoughts on was also, at one time, thought to be lazy man’s technology. Go have a refrigerated beer in your air conditioned house and shut up.
What he said.
That’s fantastic, I hope whoever created it is cashing in.
That looks very interesting. I haven’t figured out how it really works. Is the winch pulling in? Or do you have to maintain the bow on a point? How do you know you are on the exact point ? This could be a life changer
Boat pulls the cables that reel the winch to pull the strap in. Cables center the hook to latch onto the bow.
If you watch closely you will see that nothing pulls the boat onto the trailer. He is power loading with his outboard. The strap does hook onto the bow eye but the strap does not tighten up until the boat is all the way on. The strap almost got caught on the winch handle that was spinning at warp speed towards the end. I wonder what type of damage is done to the finish on the sides of the boat by the lines that are helping to center it on the trailer?
David Krueger Exactly. The winch is just taking up slack.
That is very cleaver... any chance of a link to a "how-to" or a website that sells these things?
Cleaver? You mean clever?
@@julp8728 if his spell check is anything like mine that sob changes every other word seems like :/ :)
Lol. If you need this your special. Trailers called drive on trailers do this for you. Fyi most all trailers are driving on including pontoons. Set at the right depth you should auto magically line up when you hit the middle guide. Then drive it home once it straightens up. Geez they dont call it drive on for nothing.
Multiple disabled, but not dead, and I fish all the time. Go ahead mock the disabled karma is a real bitch. And you will get yours
Steve Perry, VERY MUCH agree with you! Am in the "same boat" with you. Pun intended! 😁😁😁

Ingenious!!! One man boat loading! I'm building one for my trailer
Everyone is asking "where you can get this" but I haven't heard what is the name brand. Someone please answer that?
The skills of a Jedi are rarely revealed.
wow, this is awesome tool, what is it called and where did you buy it
its a huge pantie for a boat

I don’t give a damn who, what or how many times you’ve loaded, high wind can get the best sometimes so this has got to be pretty cool.
A set of side bunks would do the same thing. No moving parts, no set up.
Even if it cost $1,000 it would be worth it. Nothing worst than loading up on a windy day, especially by yourself.👍 👍 🇨🇦
Yes. That's how it works. No need to apologize for asking.
I got to admit that is a pretty cool device.
Well, that's how you load it. But how do you unload it and how long does it take to set up? Does it auto set itself, or is it even worth the effort?
Genious. Can this be purchased or are there plans that one could buy?
wow! what is that?! some kinda automatic loader? where can i get some information about that? thats awesome!!!!
Pretty cool, but I wouldn't want those cable resting on the side of my fiberglass boat. If I had aluminum like yours, it may not be as big of an issue. Still pretty slick!
where can i buy this ? please
I wouldn't need something like this. It's a cool idea but I just idle mine onto the trailer. No need to use the engine to push it on the trailer. I turn off the motor jump off the front. Crank the winch up and I'm done. Easy. Takes less then two mins
BASS SLAYIN' NOOB 86 my thoughts exactly, I’m not sure what the point of this thing is.
EXACTLY!! I'll take one Ronco Salad Spinner, please!
Yeah, it looks like all this does is help CENTER the boat a bit.. I don't see anything that actually pulls the boat onto the trailer.. But maybe that's all he's trying to accomplish and I guess that helps a little if you feel like you need it..
2:35 wow amazing video
It is perfekt.👍👍👍, best regards from Bavaria Germany. Swetlana und Kurt
