The winch is adjustable but it is maxed out forward and the keel
roller is not adjustable. The winch is as far forward as possible and
then the boat has to be pulled all the way forward so that the transom
tie downs don't hit the hull on the back. I think that this boat is
on the edge of being too big for the trailer.

In any case the problem is that the front bottom roller for the keel
just never touches the keel of the boat. The roller at the bottom is
too low. The solution would be to put one of those adjustable brackets
there and put a roller up higher so the keel actually rests on the
roller and not on the winch roller so much.

I need to go down to the local kenner dealer and see how this is
managed now. I saw one launching at the coast and something was
different somewhere because the keel was resting on that bottom roller.
I was just thinking some other Kenner owners might have delt with
this problem before and would have some suggestions.

However, I also noticed a lot of other center consolve V bottom front
boats where the keel never touches that center keel roller in the
front. I suppose if the ramp were very steep then it would ride up on
that roller for a while.

This isn't a big deal it just makes it difficult to line up the boat
onto the trailer when the ramp is shallow and the boat has to be
finally "winched up". If you try to drive it up it simply slides back
down before you can get the winch strap attached, and of course if its
a shallow ramp everything is in the water so you can't do a dry get on
the trailer operation.
