Default Sorry I'm Off Topic... I Have A Boat Question!

Hi All,

I had a new issue pop up this year when I took the boat out for the
first time. 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!
