What are the steps to put a pontoon boat on a trailer?

Back the trailer into the water until the last 2" of bunk boards are still out of the water. Get on pontoon boat and drive it toward the bunks board you can still see above the water, slowly. Even though you are going slow, you will still have enough momentum to overcome the drag of the bunk boards that are above the water. These will help hold the boat in place while you go to the front, if you don't have help, and connect the winch hook. If there is a lot of current you may need to leave the boat in forward gear, pushing it against the trailer, until the winch cable/strap is connected to the boat. Slowly pull the boat out of the water, checking as it come out to see if the boat is centered in the bunks. If it is not you may need to back it back into the water enough that the back end floats, so you can center it on the bunks.
