I backed my boat down the launch in less time than it takes to watch the whole video. I was watching this video on my phone at the time.
This is the direction the world is going. Watch the movie "Idiocracy".. yup.. that's the future.

Sooo..... you can't back a trailer by "TURNING the steering wheel"
But turning a "KNOB" will help you?

something tells me that if your unable to grasp the concept of backing a trailer unassisted this feature probably isn't going to do you a whole heck of a lot of good either.

I learned to back a trailer when I was about 10 yrs old with a tractor on the farm. This required turning around and looking at the trailer. This is the way I have done it all my life, and I could back one from here to NY as long as I could see the trailer. I have a stiff neck now from a car accident and old age and as a result I now have great difficulties backing. I have tried to use the mirrors and keep practicing but old habits are hard to break. So if you see me at the ramp please bear with me and don't bust a gut laughing at me. I was probably 15 or so and it was my Dad's boat but I also turned around and looked at the trailer. That's still natural to me but harder to do the older I get so I am much better with mirrors now. Still faster by turning around looking though.

What gets on my nerves are the people who don't do their prep before they get in line to launch. Don't be getting your rods and cooler and whatever out sitting on the ramp! Amen!
