The Launch & Retrieve Boat Latch is the original boat latch designed in Australia. Simplify the process of launching & retrieving your trailer boat to a dingle person operation!

  • This model is designed for fibreglass and timber boats from 3m to 6.5m (21ft). Upgrade the snare (sold separately) for boats up to 9m.
  • Fits boats with a U-Bolt style towing eye usually found on fibreglass and timber boats.
  • Simple - Effective - Easy Fit
  • No boat modification required (other than fitting the boat latch)
  • Manufactured with marine grade 316 stainless steel.
  • Great value for money!

LAUNCH PROCESS

  • At the water's edge set latch to the "Retrieve" position.
  • Release safety chain and winch cable.
  • Set the latch lever to the "Release" position.
  • Reverse the trailer into the water at a depth where the boat cannot yet float off the trailer (usually where the back rollers/slides are approx. 50mm under water). At this depth the latch is holding the front of the boat and there s resistance from the rollers/slides to prevent movement.
  • Start the boat's motor and ease forward slightly (around 20mm) to automatically release the spring-loaded catch.
  • Reverse or glide off the trailer.

RETREIVAL PROCESS

  • Set the latch to the "Retrieve" position.
  • Reverse the trailer into the water to a similar depth used for launching (as described above).
  • Slowly drive the boat on to the trailer to within one metre of the latch.
  • Allow the boat to settle and slowly drive it forward to engage the latch. The latch will slide over the snare and be securely held.
  • Stop the motor and lift the propeller leg.
  • Drive the trailer a short distance (around 3m) clear of the water. Attach the winch hook to the snare and winch the boat to firmly secure the bow within the V-block or roller.
  • Secure safety chains and tie-downs as usual before driving further.
  • Disengage the latch for road travel.
