worked well at the loch side i did not put the outboard on drove the boat trailer and car down ,to the loch side then carried the outboard down to the boat . , only thing is when pushing it forward with the trolley you have to push down on the trolley to stop it from tilting downward ,did work well pulling the boat forward was great

Might give it a bash then as it's really only to drag it back up the way. Getting it in the water is the easy bit.
