Default Re: Bunk or roller trailer

I feel like I need some sort of "V" roller at the first roller point - this will allow me to keep her in line.

It is such a b*tch trying to keep the boat floating - centered over that aft roller - then run up to the winch, start cranking only to have it fall of center and I have to start over again. Even w/ help, it's a hassle.

Gotta be a better way -

Here is a couple of ideas I think will solve your centering problem:

First you need the forward center bunks. These will keep your bow in-line with the center Rollers/Pads. I paid approx $85 shipped with S/S hardware.



Second: "Get rid of the rear roller". Make a templete of your stern's deadrise with cardboard. Then construct a stern keel guide out of 2"x12" PT lumber, carpet, monel staples and then bolted to the frame. This will keep the back of the boat centered on the rear axle and between the bunks. The boats weight will be on the main bunks. The forward bunks and the keel guide will keep it aligned.

Your SeaCraft will load perfectly every time. No More Hassel, No More Scratches
