Actually, its when I went to load it back on the trailer. 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! Lower the keel rollers a bit Bingo! (I'll betcha, now that I think about it) On both sides, or just the side that is currently riding high? Maybe you don't have keel rollers. They would be a set of rollers right in the center of the trailer between the two other, articulating roller assemblies. The keel of the boat rides up on them. The left and right side roller assemblies guide and hold the hull. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
