How To LAUNCH And LOAD Your Bass BOAT By YOURSELF

Launching and loading your boat can be challenging...even for the most experienced anglers. In this video I show you how I load and unload my Bass Tracker Pro Team 175. This is the unconventional way to do it, though I find it to be a much easier and more efficient process.
As always, thank you for your continued support. I appreciate you guys and gals!!

Got my first boat, and this was something I was worried about. Thanks for making it easy to follow along.

[@TackleJunky81]

My pleasure!

[@troymitchell1747]

I’m with you lots to learn.

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

Maybe catch a couple videos about tying Dock Lines he didn’t show the correct way and if there’s any waves or wake it will work itself off the Cleat fast 🤦🏻‍♂️❤️🖖🏼

[@packattack1762]

I’ll be a new boat owner this week. I’m actually more nervous about boater loading/unloading etiquete. If there is such a thing 🤷‍♂️

[@theone4929]

​@@packattack1762before you back your boat down the ramp, take the straps off in back, make sure your drain plug is in, have your boat already loaded with any gear you're bringing. That appears to be the biggest complaint at boat ramps, and the majority of boat ramps will have a staging area to prepare before you get to the ramp. After you load the boat, immediately pull out to a clear area where you are going to unload your boat and prepare it for the drive home. If you're new to boating, do not rush and make a checklist

[@serratedmiff]

Been loading and unloading my boat exactly the same way as this for over 20 years now, safer and easier.

[@Riddlemethisgaming]

I suck at aligning up the boat..I would do it this way but I feel ppl would laugh..although it better than ending up sideways on the trailer 2x now🤦‍♂️

[@That_Cajun_Guy]

Most people spend 30k on a boat and fish twice a year. Don't worry about "most people". My grandfather loaded his 18' tri-hull for as long as I can remember just like this. He fished nearly every weekend.

[@bluelagoontipplerloft6130]

[@pole_barn_builder]

It would be amazing to have access to a ramp that dead!! Holy crap!!

[@TackleJunky81]

It is nice...fishing could be better though, lol

[@stoneysdead689]

Probably seems nice but- there's a reason ramps are dead you know- unless it's a private or out of the way ramp then it probably means the fishing isn't great.

[@679iceman]

The worst for us is sturgeon bay. Sometimes there is 8 boats going in and out at once. I remember the first time I backed in a trailer was at that busy ramp. Definitely got a few looks when I had to adjust a few times

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Can't even imagine having a ramp the dead and that low to the water.

[@metallicknight2]

[@layman953]

Thank you for posting this video! New boat owner here, first launch, piece of cake, loading.... not so much. Took several attempts to get it on the trailer, and then after pulling away, noticed the boat was off center in the back. Wife and I went out yesterday, and decided to use your rope method for loading and it went 100 times better for me! Was so easy and fast, boat sat on the trailer perfectly! Thanks again!

[@TackleJunky81]

My pleasure buddy!

[@moonpiespotlight4759]

Failure to center is often a result of backing in too far. You only need about half the bunks underwater on carpeted bunks for most V-hull boats.

[@steveschisler7553]

I use a bit longer rope - 40’ - and tether it to my hitch in front of the ball. I unhook the boat strap BEFORE my feet ever get wet, back in, STOP abruptly, when the boat clears the trailer, I pull forward until the trailer is out of the water. I stop and then take the rope off its tether point and pull the boat in and tie it off or dock it. When I load out, I always back in where my feet can stay dry, pull the boat on, lean over and hook up the strap, climb down my easy-steps and crank it up the last 6 inches. Get in the vehicle and pull it to complete tie down process. Dry feet on the way home=PRICELESS!

[@wilhaines7516]

I've been reviewing launch and load techniques for a couple of months now, on and off. This is the most sensible no-frills technique I have seen to date. I'm an old guy and I believe this technique will work fine for me. I'll let you know after my testing the waters, so-to-speak. Thanks for a nice video. Well done.

[@TackleJunky81]

My pleasure buddy. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! 👊

I unloaded my boat easy but getting it back on was horrible and then I did like you did with the rope. I think I will just do it like that seems alot safer too.

[@markrenzella2825]

[@kemart537]

Mark, I just turned 60, bought me a brand new G3 Sportsman 1710 and have literally regretted buying it due to the 30 minute loading time it has taken me. I’ll be trying this. Happy fishing

[@zeelong1589]

[@lennyelmore]

Best launch & load I've seen yet. I've always tied my rope tether to the boat cleat but will clip to the bow eye from now on. And always drove onto the trailer, and you're right, getting off the boat onto the trailer was always a risk. Like your method much better when you pulled the boat up to within reach and wenched the rest of the way on. Thanks much for the video and the lesson. Will tweak the way I load my boat from now on.

[@TackleJunky81]

Appreciate the comment Lenny! Thanks for watching bud!

[@jobu88]

One word of warning, I have a Tacoma and put my tailgate down like that prior to making the tight turn to get the truck pointed the right direction to back the boat in, and the top of my tailgate now has two dent/puncture marks where the winch handle made contact. I leave the tailgate up until the truck is facing the right direction and ready to back down the ramp. Something else I learned is after taking the strap off the boat, you want the winch handle down low so it's out of the way as the boat floats off and the rope plays out from the truck bed, otherwise the rope can get fouled up in the winch handle. Everything else I do just like you did it. I can get the boat in or out in about 90 seconds now. Nice video.

[@TNAROHfan]

We all do it from time to time. Even experienced boaters. It's why I have a step built onto the front of my trailer. It helps. That still hasn't stopped me from slipping like a fool on the algae covered ramp though. In fact, I just did it a couple of weeks ago. Best to just roll with it and get wet than try to fight it and hurt something.

TackleJunky81 👍🏼 I’ve had a boat in the past and used a somewhat similar method. Looking at getting one again when things settle out - so I just keep looking at a lot of different things and came across this and watched to see if I could pick up a hint or two... this for sure is helpful. Especially if people watching have NEVER had to single hand something. Perfect execution in my opinion. 👍🏼 Hopefully anyone who watched remembers the most important hint - check that PLUG 3x. Hahaha.

When your backing start out straight. Watch your mirrors both sides (not the rear view on the windshield) Which ever side you see more boat on, turn towards its. Think of backing it straight and turn towards your trouble. More boat on the left, turn the wheel to the left. More boat to the right, turn to the right. Just turn towards your trouble. 😉

If I may. If you noticed in the video, Junky has his tail gate down. I cannot tell you enough how much this will help you to learn to back your boat down a ramp. And when you go to recover your boat, it helps to see the trailer. I do it all the time.

Thank you for doing this - with this great video's help, I was able to load/unload my 14' jon boat to and from the water successfully for many times! 👍

I just recently purchased a TRACKER Classic XL and I two will be alone most of the time and so your instructions on launching and loading are going to be invaluable THANKS

As someone who usually fished solo and who is starting to save toward a boat, I was wondering how I’d launch solo. This video really helped clear up some of my worries about what is involved. Thanks, TJ81!

I just retired (I'm 71) and bought a 17' Boston Whaler to fish Long Island Sound. This video was invaluable! Thanks so much.

one suggestion for folks to consider..... having had a serious back and knee injury. i had to come up with fail safes in many things. for my boat, i designed a simple later that attaches to my trailer. it simply slides into place for use. and folds up and stores on the boat very nicely :) also replaced the wench with an electric one. i can literally pull my boat out while barely getting my trailers wheels wet, lol...

I have to thank you for making it easy, safe and effective. I was doing it the hard way.

Very impressed with your style. Being an old guy and having to go fishing alone the majority of the time, your way is excellent!

Thanks, this put me one step closer to buying a boat. I live in a gated community and we have a private ramp and a dock.
