Any ideas other than getting very wet?
Here's how I deal with it at Aurora. I keep a rope tied to the bow that is maybe 30 ft in length. I tie the other end to my bumper prior to launching. Once the boat is in the water, and I have driven a few feet back up the ramp, and hopped out of my vehicle, the boat will have floated out for the length of the rope. I then untie the rope from the bumper, walk over to the ramp, then pull the boat over and tie it up so I can go park the vehicle.
When I leave I always tie up at the dock. If the water is cold or I just don't feel like getting wet, I put on a pair of hip waders, and back the trailer into the water. I then go to the dock and grab the rope, hop in the water near the shore, and work the boat over to the ramp and on the trailer. This really sucks on a windy day as the boat usually wants to go anywhere except the trailer. If you don't have trailer guides, get some. It was the best money I have ever spent on the trailer.
