If you try to compensate by not backing the trailer in as far, you are at near full throttle trying to get it fully loaded. There is a very, very, very narrow sweet spot, for the stars to align to load solo.
mossie3 - You may want to look into getting one of these - https://www.boat2trailerhookup.com/b...ic-boat-latch/. I put on on my Puma STS trailer and really like it. I installed the short manual handle so I need to remember to reset it after launching, but it will latch automatically which will solver your slide back issue. A trick step and this boat 2 trailer latch make launching/recovering by yourself a breeze.
