Will a lower lake level later in the season have any impact, or does the ramp extend out enough to avoid these issues?

It doesn't get any worse because just beyond where I stop now gets deeper, which means that it continues to be the same overall problem when the water level drops...just further back.

I think the issue might be resolved with the bunk glide-ons I ordered. The only thing a lot of people say is to make sure the bow hook is connected all the way so the machine doesn't slip off. I do that anyway, but the manual for the glide-ons also mentions keeping part carpet for a little bit of grip. That might be the solution.

The ones I ordered, by the way, are Tiedown Industries Bunk Glide-ons.

Loosen the winch strap about 12 to 18 inches just before you back in. Hit the brakes and the machine will slide back on the trailer. That should help some. Just make sure you lock the winch before you back up.
