[QUOTE="lckstckn2smknbrls, post: 380706, member: 850"] Your trailer looks it not quite set up for your boat. The transom should be sitting on the bunks to support the weight of the motor otherwise it can create a hook in the hull. It looks like there is enough ground clearance but I would still use a transom saver. There are rebuild kits for the winch or you can get a new one with a strap for not much money. Your winch post is standing straight up most lean forward. Can you post a picture of the base of the post where it mounts to the tongue? I have a strap going across the boat to hold it to the trailer. Do you know what your boat and trailer weigh and what the tongue weight is? [/QUOTE]
