How it Works
Launching your boat with L & R
Launch your boat quickly and easily and look like a pro doing it!
Step 1. Set the latch to 'Launch' position
Once the boat is at the water’s edge, set the latch to ‘retrieve’, then release the safety chain and winch cable. This will let the boat slide back off the trailer and be caught by the latch. Once you’ve done this, set the lever to the ‘launch’ position.
Step 2. Reverse the boat in to the water
Step 3. Ease the boat forward to release
Start the boat motor and ease forward gently. The patented spring-loaded latch will automatically release.
Step 4. Reverse or glide off the trailer

Now let’s look at the steps for retrieving your boat with the L & R Boat Latch
Retrieving your boat with L & R
Getting your boat up and out of the water has never been easier!
Step 1. Set the latch to 'Retrieve' position
Step 2. Reverse the trailer in to the water
Reverse the trailer into the water until the roller and slides are about 2 inches below the water. It should be in substantially the same depth as you would use for a launch.
Step 3. Drive the boat to within 3ft of the latch
Drive the boat onto the trailer until you’re about 3 feet from the latch, then stop.
Step 4. Gently drive the boat forward to the latch
Step 5. Once connected, stop the motor & lift propeller leg
Step 6. Exit the water & secure boat for travel
Move the boat and trailer about 9-10 feet out of the water. Secure your boat for safe travel by attaching the winch hook to the snare and winching the boat up so the bow is firmly on the roller or V-block.

The latch should always be disengaged for road travel. After loading the boat, safety chains and the winch cable/strap and the tie down straps must be used to secure the boat to the trailer.
Note – this is required by law.
