2008 150 Sport. Looking for comments on various types of devices to keep boat position on bunk trailer after power loading. I only power load at launches designed for it.
Currently have to keep engine in forward about 2k rpms to prevent hull sliding back on bunks once bow is against trailer mast roller. Have to leave helm, attach winch hook to bow eye, secure winch. Then I can shut down. Of course, would rather load and be able to pull out to lot in a safer, quicker, yet secure way.
I see a simple device that mounts to bunk called Boat Load Mate. Seems simple enough and only need one. Other devises are bow mounted and actually latch. The latch type seems overkill.
Anyone using the Boat Load Mate or other simple device?
Comments or suggestions are appreciated! Thank You.
