Your Thoughts on the "Trailer Valet"
#4
I am am not able to use a vehicle to to push my boat into the garage behind my house. Not enough room to make the turn. When I was younger no problem pulling the boat out and pushing it back in. It is slightly uphill going back in. Nowadays I can pull it out to hitch it up OK but pushing it back in can't quite do it. I mounted an electric hoist from Harbor Freight on the back wall of my garage. It has a remote so I just have to let the cable out. Hook it to the back of my boat and hit the in button on the remote, it pulls it right in. I have to turn the boat into the garage as I am pulling it in.I have a single axle trailer so steering the boat is easy by hand a double axle trailer is hard to turn by hand. If you were able to go straight back very easy even with double axles. $100 for the set up.
