Location: Contrarian Island | I have a 690 as well and have never had issues of any kind ...for mine, if you back in the trailer so that just the inner 2, most forward bunks are out of the water about 9" to a foot that is where mine loads the best, i simply drive it slowly in idle on, then slowly hit the throttle and crawl it up the trailer,,,at times if the angle of the landing is shallow I do give it more gas and just nudge it up to the roller...never do i just gun it from the start...it's more walking it up the trailer w/ the throttle...once it hits the roller, trim up, shut off, walk up and climb out and winch it tight and tell the guy in the truck i'm good and pulls us out...try putting the trailer in about that far....on much more of an angled launch it will have to be out of the water quite a bit more....
I would never "give er h*ll" as guest said..if you are not on perfectly straight you will ding up the front of the boat on the sides of the roller/metal...simply use the motor to power up it slowly
