You shouldn't use the boat engine to power the boat off the trailer because it undermines the base of the ramp. It's best to have a long line tied to the bow and push the boat off the trailer then walk it over to the dock, tie it up, and pull the trailer out. If you have an all-roller trailer it's pretty easy to roll the boat off once you unhook the winch hook.
