Too bad its on a piece of **** " Bunk " Trailer. Guess you weren't smart enough to get a proper trailer, ****wit.

What a dummy!
Anyone with a lick of sense knows that you use bunks for an aluminum boat.
(an exception might be for the very thick hulled welded variety)

Rollers on your Legends, Lunds, PrinceCrafts etc could deform the hull.


Even those of us with thick aluminum hulls (0.25") prefer UHMW bunks to
rollers. The people I see struggling to position the boat properly on
the trailer seem to have rollers.

Mine rolls on fine, every time. The ones I see " struggling", are the idiots with bunks.

Well, here it is, my new rig... well the boat is a year old this month and the Highlander is almost 3 months old.



I have it on a fairly level spot to measure how level the trailer is with a 2" drop receiver.

D'oh... I need to reverse the draw bar so the hitch is 3/4 inches high.

I'm struggling with that because I don't have a 1 & 9/16" or 1 & 5/8ths wrench to hold the ball steady while I remove the big 1.5" nut and it's locking washer.



I tried my water pump pliers with duct take over the jaws to protect the chrome but it's too slippery.



Guess I'm off to Princess Auto to buy a big cheap Chinese adjustable wrench.



The best tool for that is an impact wrench.



You can hold the ball with your hand that way

I think you're right. I'm sure that's the way they install the complete units at the factory.
