For some reason, it won't winch up level. No matter how many times or how carefully I reposition her and try again, it always loads up listing to starboard, which of course pulls everything of center and doesn't sit right on the rollers at the front of the trailer. The rear rollers all fit tight against the hull when its listing. But if me and a buddy straighten out the boat and reseat it level (I lift up on one side, he pushes from the other), all the rollers STILL fit tight. At first I thought I could just raise the starboard side rollers to keep that side raised, but after thinking about it, it would push everything off center towards port, OR would raise the entire boat so the front rollers no longer touch. So, knowing that I over think things, I figure somebody here must have gone through re configuring a roller trailer and could give me some pointers on what rollers I should be concentrating on. Thanks! Can't be of much help but one thing popped into my mind as I ttied to mentally imagine your problem. I'd check and make sure both of the roller assemblies (the rail they are mounted on) and the rollers themselves are straight, meaning one of them is not cocked slightly and is "steering" the hull in one direction. That is my thinking too. Also be sure they are all rolling free and that they are not "flat" on one side |
