[quote=westmatt]I took the lazy way out. My righting line is more than long enough, so I just untied its upper stopper knot and pulled some extra line through the grommet near the tramp pocket then retied the stopper knot (on top of the tramp). When I'm sailing the righting line sits in the pocket like normal. When it's time to pull it back on to the trailer, I just pull the end of the line back down through the grommet, tie a temporary bowline and hook the winch strap to that. Easy, works great.
My trailer is painted steel, so when launching, i only go as far as a couple of inches submerged below the wheel hub. Once I get the boat pointed at the rear rollers, it's minimal strain with the winch to wind it up. Well worth the small cost and small amount of effort to mount the winch.
