I self-launch all the time, IF the ramp has a dock. It takes about 2 minutes AFTER I've prepped the boat in the designated prep area away from the lanes:

1. prep the boat AWAY FROM the lanes -- plug in, all trailer straps and hooks off except for bow eye hook, trailer electrical unplugged, outdrive up, 2 fenders + 2 dock lines
3. back the trailer into the water until the boat is almost ready to come off the trailer
4. SET THE BRAKES!!!
5. secure the dock lines to the dock, as far back as the lines will reach
6. remove the bow eye hook
7. back the boat the rest of the way into the water
8. SET THE BRAKES!!!
9. untie the dock lines. Pull the boat all the way to the end of the dock and secure the boat to the dock
10. go park the truck
