I have a bunk trailer and how i launch in Falmouth Inner harbor is the following. Undo transom straps, tie rope from bow cleat to winch stand, back down the ramp, get boat mostly in water, undo winch strap and chain, back up a few feet hit brakes. Boat floats off but doesnt get past the bottom 1/3 of trailer due to being tied on winch stand, then I can grab ropes and secure at dock.
Loading I back down have a bunch of strap out, drive boat on until it is secure, try not to use more than dead idle, turn off motor climb off front and juggle the strap and boat and winch her up. Loading is a PIA, if I didi it again I would get one of those trailers that you drive on and it catches the bow eye, so you can safely winch it one without the fear of the boat sliding back off the trailer on loading.
