Hated it. Drotto latch damaged the gelcoat on my boat and made it very difficult and unpleasant to launch on certain launches. Best thing I ever did was take it off of my boat. Great idea but doesn't work as advertised.

Super simple to install and use. Makes boat loading and unloading a breeze.

Got this for my Dad last Christmas and he has loved it so far. He has a 19ft Crestliner with a roller trailer and musky fishes by himself quite often. Actually broke his hand because the boat flew off the trailer launching it a couple of years ago. Laid him up for 9 weeks. Now he just hits the lever while in the boat and drives it to the dock. He's a dentist so he kind of needs those hands. Well worth the safety, the convenience is just the cherry on top

Great product. Easy to install. Easy to use. Wish I would have purchased one of these apparatuses many boats ago.

I've had my Drotto for 4 years. I absolutely love it. It makes the boat ramp a breeze and so much safer. Behind my trolling motor it's one of the best things I've purchased for my boat. I recommend it to everyone I've talked to that has a boat. I get stopped all the time when loading and asked what device I'm using. The first couple years it might have cost me time at the ramp from people wanting to know what it is or where I got it. I've went from being the only one at the ramp with one 4 years ago to half the boats having a Drotto. Awesome product. Every boat I ever purchase will have one of these.

I can launch my Lund boat by myself with ease, but, works GREAT when my buddy is in the boat and I drive the truck. We have loading and unloading down to less than 45 seconds from the time the trailer wheels touch the water and when we pull the trailer out. Couldn't be happier!!!!

Awesome product. I have an alumacraft trophy 205 and makes us look like pros both launching and landing.

I bought it for my new lund 1875 impact xs and shore lander trailer and fell in love with it the first time I used it. Works really slick. So simple to use and make unloading and loading the boat much easier. Specially with a roller trailer.

Finally got to try my new Drotto Latch this weekend. Water was so high half the truck went in the water, but the Drotto worked perfectly and nobody had to get wet feet! This thing is fantastic!

I bought my Drotto Boat Latch after plenty of research of competitors hitches. I found this hitch to be the most reliable and also a better design and build than the others. I would be without mine, load and unload by my self even in rough water. My best purchase yet!

I love the Drotto! I recommend it to everyone I see. I did however lose the arm which kinda stinks but that was my dumb fault.

I've had my drotto installed for about a month now & love it! It makes unloading & loading so easy. No more crawling in & out of the boat to hook up the winch strap. I fish by myself a lot & this has made me more efficient at the busy ramps. I've even had a few people come up to me in the parking lot after they watched me loaded my boat & ask about the drotto. Also the response time from the company is outstanding. I messaged them a few questions on Facebook & less than 10 minutes later I had an answer.

Thanks for the awesome quick turn on the exchange, all hooked up and ready to use. A number of boats have these in our League, finally got a boat after 17 years of being a non boater, this was my 1st accessory upgrade I got, keep up the good work!

Super easy to install, and it works great to load and unload especially with an all roller trailer!! Only question would be how parts like spring and latch hold up and what wear and tear maintenance to look for so it doesn't fail! Thanks again

Best thing for loading and unloading a boat ever. Love the ease of this product and how fast I can get on and off the lake.

I fish alone a lot, so I bought one near the end of the 2016 soft water season and love it! It sure makes loading the boat easier whether alone or if there is someone to drive the truck out. Great product!
Drotto Boat Latch Review Submissions
Dylan Maki (MN)
What make and model of boat did you hook the boat latch on? 2075 Lund Pro Guide
How easy was the install?: Easy
Please tell us about your experience with the boat latch:
“Boat 2 Trailer is an excellent product for fisherman that guide or fish alone. It makes landing your boat a ton easier; no need to lock the motor and power the boat to unhook the safety chain and strap. It’s always fun turning heads when it takes me a quarter of the time at the landing. No messing around with this product!!”

June 22, 2015 at 9:50 pmDoes it work with fibergalss boats?
boat2trailer
June 23, 2015 at 8:22 amYes it certainly does.
Donald jasper
July 1, 2015 at 2:58 pmWill it work on a 20′ crown line
boat2trailer
July 1, 2015 at 3:06 pmYes, It just needs the V front in order to fit the boat.
Brendan
August 17, 2015 at 11:08 pmDoes it work with different types of bow eyes?
boat2trailer
August 18, 2015 at 8:19 amYes, The latch is designed to accommodate most bow eye sizes and shapes.

February 8, 2016 at 2:43 pmJust got it today, took about 10 min. to put it on, it fit like a glove
Mark Gilsdorf
June 26, 2016 at 10:14 pmIt was very easy to install, took about 10 minutes. I’ve used it 5 times already, works like a champ. It is a must for those of us that do a lot of fishing by ourselves. A real labor saving device.

June 27, 2016 at 6:00 pmI fish the river and the water goes up and down so can I adjust the angle on the boat2 trailer. I now have a boat buddy and does not work well because it is cheaply made
boat2trailer
June 29, 2016 at 5:32 pmYes during install you can adjust the Boat2Trailer product however you see fit then tighten.

August 30, 2016 at 2:04 pmThis product has been awesome! Put one on my 2014 Triton 186 Fishhunter and love how it works. My Dad is now going to purchase one and put it on his Sylvan Viper. I truly think this product will extend his love for fishing. Thanks Boat2Trailer!!!

May 24, 2017 at 7:54 pmWhat a great product! I love going to the launch by myself and watching two people try to put in or take out as I am taking off. Easy install and pure genius idea. Love the simplicity of everything! Thank you very much!

June 9, 2017 at 3:00 pmI see that most use your product on a roller trailer. I have a Lund Tyee 1800 on a bunk trailer. Is your product as effective on a bunk as a roller trailer?
Robert Waterbury
June 13, 2017 at 1:39 pmYes it certainly is. Many customers install the product on bunk trailers and roller trailers alike.

June 23, 2017 at 1:22 pmThis is an amazing product and takes the stress and work out of launching my 18′ Lund Alaskan tiller. Very easy to install on my Shore Lander trailer. A couple of things to watch for, after the installation check to see where the back rollers on the trailer are in reference to the transom. I had to move my winch ahead 3 inches to accommodate the new unit to get the transom on the roller correctly. Only one thing that I noticed was that I have to place my trailer on the water a little shallower when loading the boat so the boat was resting on the rollers, then it went into the catch on the new unit perfectly. Great unit so far.

July 16, 2017 at 4:15 pmI just put one on my Lund pro guide tiller with a shorlander roller trailer. Makes loading and unloading the boat much easier. Wish I would got one sooner!

July 24, 2017 at 1:12 pmJust installed on a ez loader roller trailer with a new alumacraft 185 competitor tiller boat,easy install,just had to move winch bracket 4″ forward to keep boat in correct spot on trailer,no better way to load & unload !
roger hetzel
August 11, 2017 at 8:47 pmI have had mine now for a while and it has made launching and retrieving a boat so much easier. once that chick sound is heard that boat is locked secure and will not go anywhere. the handle release makes a one person operation easy as well. well worth the price. I have showed it to quite a few people who seemed interested in how it works and I have seen more trailers with these units mounted on them. installation was easy as well. good product.

August 12, 2017 at 12:24 pmInstalled on my Crestliner 1800 Superhawk. Matched my galvanized trailer ((Shoreland’r) perfectly. Worked perfectly the first time which was the setup installation and the five times I’ve trailered it since. Saves me and my better half a lot of stress at the boat landing. Great invention

September 23, 2017 at 11:55 pmInstalled on my 2016 Tracker Pro Staff TXW… Was concerned because the bow eye is constructed of Aluminum and is welded to the boat. It’s a but thicker than the eyes seen on the videos… But good news… It’s works great! So happy with this product!
