Devices, systems, and methods for boat launching and loading detection and management are disclosed herein. A method may include receiving, by a first device, data associated with operation of a vehicle. The method may include determining, based on the data, that the operation of the vehicle includes at least one of launching a boat into water using the vehicle or loading the boat onto the vehicle. The method may include generating map data indicative of a location associated with the operation of the vehicle. The method may include sending the map data to a second device for presentation.

A guide-on post with a base, an arm, and at least one step. The base is attached to a boat trailer. The arm is hingedly coupled to the base and has an outer side that faces away from the boat trailer. The arm is configured to rotate between a guiding position and a boarding position. When the arm is in the guiding position, the arm is in a substantially vertical upward direction, and when the arm is in the boarding position, the arm is rotated between 5 degrees and 180 degrees from the guiding position. The at least one step is coupled to the arm and is moveable between a stored position and an extended position. When in the stored position, the step is positioned within a perimeter of the boat trailer. When in the extended position, the step extends away from the outer side of the arm.

A boat trailer latch includes a top plate, a bottom plate, a V-notch formed in a front portion of the top and bottom plates, and a latching element having a tooth. The latching element is sandwiched between the top and bottom plates and configured to rotate through the V-notch. The latch also includes a pawl having a rounded notch configured to lock in the tooth of the latching element and prevent the latching element from rotating. The latching element is configured to rotate in a first direction in response to a boat bow hook entering the V-notch so that as the latching element continues to rotate in the first direction the latching element closes behind the boat bow hook, and the tooth of the latching element engages the notch of the pawl so that the latching element is prevented from rotating in a second opposing direction and releasing the bow hook.

The present disclosure relates to a machine capable of moving on an inclined plane, including a first split body, a second split body and functional components, where the functional components include a moving mechanism, a flexible connecting device and operating tools, the operating tools are installed on the first split body and/or the second split body, and configured to perform operations, the flexible connecting device connects the first split body to the second split body, and adjusts a distance between the first split body and the second split body, the moving mechanism is installed on the first split body and/or the second split body and configured to drive the first split body and/or the second split body to move on the inclined plane, the first split body contains a suspension mechanism, and the suspension mechanism is configured to connect or disconnect the inclined plane.

A utility trailer boat apparatus that is configurable between a first configuration as a boat and a second configuration as a utility trailer. The apparatus of the present invention includes a body having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the body is hingedly secured to the second portion of the body. Both the first portion and second portion of the body include a bottom and four walls wherein the first portion and second portion are similarly sized. In the first configuration the first portion and second portion are adjacent to each other in a linear arrangement. In the second configuration the first portion has been hinged over the second portion so as to be superposed thereto. A frame member is releasably secured to the bottom of the second portion and further includes a wheel assembly so as to provide movability of the apparatus.

An illustrative embodiment of an enclosed boat trailer may be configured to allow loading of a boat in the water for the purpose of removing the boat from the water using the enclosed boat trailer to engage the boat for storage and/or transportation. An illustrative embodiment of an enclosed boat trailer may be comprised of a roller system positioned on the floor and a right and left rear arm adjacent a rear opening in the enclosed boat trailer. In an illustrative method of use, a boat operator may load and/or unload the boat into the water from the enclosed boat trailer without leaving the boat and without additional personnel.

A rock guard comprises a flexible sheet of mesh selectively wound around a spool to be selectively retracted and deployed in front of a trailer or its contents, such as a boat. A pair of brackets mount to a rail of trailer and carry the spool. A top distal edge of the sheet can be flexible and arcuate in the deployed configuration to form an arc matching a gunwale of the boat.
