Default Re: Roller trailer,boat loading problem.

Thanks for the quick replies guys,
Denny,thanks for the picture and detailed info.I'll have to digest all that info, and give it a try.
And yes it has a lot of rollers,all 5" (#530R Yates).

I seem to remember however, that when I backed the trailer in,it had to be way back,because if it wasn't,the front part of the keel at the bow,rubbed on the rear x member.I had to get that low in the water,so the bow would float over it.

I'm wondering if i move the rollers out further,that the keel would be even lower.
Unfortunately,the boat is six hours away,so I can't just mess around with it when I want.I'll have to take some good photos of the trailer when I go back up to the boat at the end of the month.

These pictures are lousy and don't clearly show the rollers,but maybe you can get an idea.They are from different stages of the restore
