I've had the idea for some time to use a winch for our boat trailer at our river place, It would give me the option of driving there in something other than a tow vehicle.
My concern however, is the little front jack wheel not rolling well or straight without tracks.
Anyone seen this type of set up? I was thinking I need something like a wheelbarrow tire on a swivel, similar to a light airplane or small tractor front wheel. Do you think the weight of the boat would keep it centered in the ramp?
Our ramp is about 12' wide, so not much room for wandering.
Thanks in advance for any ideas if you have them!
I was thinking something like this bolted to the floor:
