Re: Trailer set-up for 20'
- 1. Winch strap above the bow stop.
- 2. Install new Wolmanized bunks, and drill the hole in the bunk for drainage, then epoxy the inside of the hole in the bunk.
- 3. The transom should rest on the aftermost keel roller. Move the boat back about 3".
- 4. Tongue weight should be 5-7% of the gross vehicle weight, or 150 to 300 lbs. More tongue weight contributes to reduced trailer sway on the highway. My 20' Seafari has about 175 lbs tongue weight.
