Does anyone find using the tilt feature on a trailer helpful? I have to get so far back into the water at the landing that the fenders are underwater before the boat floats off.
It is hard to line up the keel to the rollers when you can't see them when loading.

Yes, always. I don't "float" off my boat, but let it "roll" off. I don't use it for retrieval, but again, the boat rolls on, and is not floated on. The rear roller is at water level.

There's a longer description I wrote somewhere here, probably in the "Miscellaneous" section where we keep most trailer-related topics.

If I come across it again, I may post a link here, but feel free to check through the older posts in that section.

This is just the most recent description of my tilting trailer and process that I wrote, there should be some earlier ones as well, possibly covering additional detail. Happy hunting.
