If your boat trailer is situated properly you will need very little effort to get the boat up onto the trailer. Using the engine will result in possible major damage to the boat, the trailer and its towing vehicle. It's always best to use the winch and crank it up slowly as in that manner you are in full control of things, whereas with the motor you are not.

What is the problem with using your boats engine to drive it onto the trailer?
No problem, it is perfectly OK to drive your boat on to the trailer with the engine as long as there is enough clearance to keep the prop from hitting anything or anyone. I used to do it all the time. As soon as you start to feel resistance from the hull resting on the trailer skids stop and use the winch the rest of the way.
