Boat Retrieve
Set the latch, on the trailer, to "Retrieve" (Starboard) position. Reverse trailer into the water to a similar depth that was used for a “good launch” at this ramp. Rear rollers/slides are about 50mm (2”) below water. Too deep (common mistake), no roller resistance on approach and speed will be high and equipment may be damaged. Drive the boat onto trailer to within one metre of the latch and stop.
When the boat has settled (2 seconds), gently drive it up the last metre to the latch, on the ramp. The latch will now slide over the snare and the boat will be securely held. Stop the motor and lift the propeller leg. Move boat & trailer 3M (10ft) approx. out of water. Attach the winch hook to the snare and winch the boat up so the bow is firmly on the roller or V-block. Secure safety chains and tie downs as usual. NOW move the boat, from the ramp, to the car park. Disengage latch for road travel.
When traversing boat ramps or roads NEVER rely on the latch to hold the boat onto the trailer. Safety chains and winch cable/strap and tie down straps should always be used to secure the boat to the trailer. The latch should be disengaged for road travel.

Launch & Retrieve Boat Latch
DEMO - RETRIEVE - Video Fitting an L & R Boat latch to my 19” Haines Signature and McKay Trailer was a real game changer for me as launching and retrieving the boat is now a so much easier and less painful process. This is particularly the case when launching with helpers who are not so experienced with the normal means of doing it. I would very highly recommend fitting one to anybody. Simon Hall
Geoff had a call from Tom Nevins at www.cooktownbarracharters.com and in the conversation it became evident just what a different world it is up there, when you have to deal with neighbours like these ! ….and how an L & R Boat Latch helps reduce the risk to one’s life and limbs. One of their neighbours shown above.
