Thread: trailer cat walk

The seal adhesive backed skate board grip tape. Sand paper with glue on the back

They make anti-slip tape different lengths and widths what would work. Basically same as skateboard tape as DSJ mentioned. Usually see it on steps or ramps. U-line sells it as well as other places. Think I bought some last at Walmart. Lowes or Home Depot sell some too.

I have some. Hopefully my aluminum walkway will be ok.

I guess I never really thought of boat loading as a "Full Contact Sport".
Couple of years ago I launched the boat, and handed the rope to the wife standing on the pier and said "Hold this while I park the truck and trailer". Walked up to the truck, got in, looked in the side mirror as the wife went head first into the river. Got out of the truck, walked back there, and "Reeled Her in", as she still had hold to the rope. Never figured out just what happened. She don't control the boat rope no mo.
If memory serves me right, it went something like "I thought the boat was going to touch the pier, so I remember reaching down, but I don't know what happened after that...".

It can be tricky. I used to do the rope to the trailer trick until the rope broke. I don't swim as good as I used to. Now the winch strap stays attached until I'm ready to shove off, I jump in and drive to dock

Not to hi jack, But it's good to develop your own routine for launching or retrieving your boat, improve on it until it is safe, efficient, timely, and works well for YOU.
Stick to it, repeat, and refuse to become distracted when going about the business at hand. (Crowded area, loud people, questions, etc.)
Stick with what works for you, and let's all do all we can to NOT GET HURT.
