Boat Trailer Reversing 101 - Be A BCFing Expert | BCF Australia
A mate who lives nearby reckons it is a not bad Sunday entertainment to go down to the boat ramp with a six pack and the newspaper and watch the free entertainment of boaties trying to back down or recover.

I put my hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and move my hand in the direction I want the trailer to steer.

I find that the secret to backing any trailer is to Only move the steering wheel when you have to and "Less is More", Most people Overcorrect when reversing and that is why they make it so difficult for themselves.

Have taught all my crew to select low range before starting to reverse a trailer and nothing more than idle.
Not a good idea, Eevo. Leads to separate rooms, withdrawal of conjugal rights, and even talk of divorce. Women do not take instruction well and yelling "Left hand down dear" then "LEFT HAND DOWN" followed by " LEFT HAND DOWN, YOU STUPID BITCH". Hubby usually up to his hips in water trying to keep the boat aligned with the ramp whilst the tide is trying to take it away.

IMHO the main thing is not to undo the winch before getting on the ramp.
Saw a bloke drop his nice speed boat onto the road at the top of the ramp once .
Its a bit of a job to recover from that especially since your face is so red.
