the KEY is to not back the trailer in to the water too far.
Critical key that took me a couple of years of actively trailering to learn.
this way as soon as you hit the rollers, they are guiding you up the middle, and you are not floating side to side. for my boat i back until just the first rollers (farthest back) are under water... this is equal to the bottom of my fenders just touching the water, which is the cue I look for when backing the trailer, or giving instruction to someone else that will back it down while I wait on the boat.
once once you roll up those rollers if you hit them centered, you are good. then we come to the end game which is discussed above. i don't even have guide posts. i will leave the load/launch line on my fender once backed down, and i can lean over and grab it, then cleat as described. can't wait to try this new method.
