Default Re: Adjusting a roller trailer to fit a 23

thedink,

I've never done it on a SeaCraft or on a bunk setup, but on other rigs I've had it was just common sense and a trial and error process. Once I got the tongue weight where I wanted it, I took the boat and some tools to a quiet launching area and watched it on and off the trailer a few times and started to make adjustments so that(1), the boat sat as low as possible on the trailer(2), the rollers had a minimum impact (crossing over) on hull strakes when the boat was moving on and off the trailer,(3), the rollers appeared to be located so as to provide a balanced support for the boat (especially along the keel line)and not be bearing on hull strakes or potential weak areas (middle of large, flat panels, etc.)and (4), the boat ended up straight and where I wanted it to be on the trailer. Also, adjust the height of the winch so that the pull alond most of the boats travel line is up, not down.
