I have read the thread on the power winch discussion with interest to see if I should consider it for fun (always looking to tinker). I am on the heavy end of shallow skiffs with a BT3 and I replaced my bunks with good quality carpet 9 months ago. Added wax and been launching and retrieving the boat with a lot less of the trailer in the water but also pulling more of the boat on he trailer by hand. It has been a breeze with absolutely no effort whatsoever. But ......
...my bunks seem to be wearing off already?
I assume the dragging of the boat on the bunks is what is creating the early wear on the carpet so I am back to dunking the trailer to minimize friction.
All you guys doing dry launches and using power winches to bring the boat on the trailer, are you experiencing the same?
Am I doing something wrong?
