The trailer must be absolutely flat from side to side. Since the boat sits
flat in the water, if one bunk is lower than the other when you float the
boat onto the bunks, then haul it out, the boat will end up being higher on
the bunk that was the lowest in the water. I have rollers and the same
principle applies ... the trailer must be flat when I power the boat up onto
it ... and I find it best not to have the trailer too submerged as well ...
this helps the boat align itself better on the rollers as I power onto the
trailer. Getting the trailer flat sometimes means hogging the ramp a bit ...
one in particular here is only flat in the middle of a the 2 boat wide ramp.
At that ramp I watched a guy try and try and try to get his boat level on a
not level trailer ... no way. Anyway ... I suggest give those suggestions
(level trailer, not too deep) a try before you buy those guides.

I have a Starcraft 14" boat, and a NorthTrail bunk trailer. The bunk
guide
is pretty short and it is 90 degree - similar to this photo:

I am facing a problem.. sometimes when I try to load the boat back on the
trailer, the boat doesn't align correctly on the wooden track. and
sometimes it flows side to side. In a bad days, I have to try 10 times
before getting it correctly. This is really annoying.!!!!! But it is so
weird, in some days, I can do it in one time.

The worst situation I have experienced: I couldn't load the boat, and
other
boaters came into help but no one were able to do it. Finally I had to
pull
the boat to the land and those guys helped me to lift the boat (yes, man
power) to put it on the right track. That was pretty embarassing. Oh man..

I talked to a local marina, the dude there suggested me to install
something
similar to this (a Loading guide post)

Will that help??
