[QUOTE="weweber3, post: 418953, member: 21362"] I have reason to believe, reading many of half-baked articles, that my trailer was not setup correctly when I bought it. - Bow eye above the bow roller (multiple sources say roller above eye) - Bunks fall short of the transom (should be flush or extended past) - Keel (actually "spool") rollers level or even lower than the back - saw another post to have the rollers set 1/8" higher than bunk so boat "settles" into rollers a little. - Bunks are on shorter edge of a 2x4, not the 4" edge (see picture) Is there a definitive guide on what to do when you are setting up a trailer for the first time? Honestly, I have searched the web and youtube - nothing really out there. Lots of time spent on weight distribution and brakes which is not a huge concern for this 14' alum monster. Thank you. -Bill [/QUOTE]
