I always raise my bass boat motor all the way up when putting in/taking out...ramp angles vary and I've never taken that chance. Since I also launch solo many times, I'll give myself several feet of slack in the winch strap so it can "float" off the trailer a bit, but not get away. Keeping it strapped to the winch tightly doesn't work to well on my boat.
