Default Re: Bunk to Roller Trailer Question

Yes Sir, I'm on your side. Once the bunks are adjusted just outside of the chines at the transom and the guide on posts are right against or about half an inch outside the rub rails...piece of cake. I maintain my bearings, springs, etc. on a regular basis so it does not bother me to back the trailer in the water.
Adjustment is the key. Another note on adjustment, keep the bunks as low as possible. My boat sits low enough on the trailer that the skeg hits the ground. Most setups I see, don't sit low enough.

Something else I've noticed on this forum about trailers is that there is a "regional" preference between bunk and roller setups. Maybe theres a difference in our ramp construction.
