It always looked like the rope would rub on the boat the whole time it was on the trailer. or am I wrong.

Same as when I load drive it up onto the bunks hop out with waders on and crank it up tight. I am assuming you have a bunk trailer.

Same here.

I prefer the roller type, also strong and don't scratch you paint up.

Always set the e-brake, not just cuz it's easier on the driveline but for that one time you don't quite get it into park...

Get back in boat back up get it good and straight and drive it in at idle with the leg up as high as possible. Just as I get to the trailer I shut the engine off trim up and glide into the trailer. Once on the trailer I crawl to the front and step onto my trailer from my boat very carefully and reel the boat up tight to the trailer. I then make sure the motor is trimmed all the way up jump in the truck pull out of the water nice and easy and get out of the way of anyone looking to back down the ramp. Then I do my walk around pull plug and finish tieing things down and putting **** away.
