Yea, we were worried about it for a minute. When the water level dropped it made it too shallow to launch in the normal spot. We moved off to the side where it was steeper and dropped off quickly but was at a side angle. It was no problem launching because the boat was coming off and it was frozen. As soon as I started pulling the boat out, the thawed mud and extra weight caused the truck to slid side ways toward the water. That twisted the trailer and put the winch in a bind making it impossible to release it. We moved over to the shallow launch but that required us to winch the boat all the way onto the trailer, boy that was a work out.
