I have seen (never tried) two other techniques.
1.) For those with Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motors, they just back down, launch the boat, deploy the trolling motor, walk to the dock, motor the boat over, and tie it off. No ropes involved.
2.) I saw one guy tie the other end of his rope to the cleat on the dock, back down, launch the boat, go park his truck, walk to the dock, and then pull is boat back to the dock with the rope.
