[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 483663, member: 22613"] What type of boat is it? The bunks should always extend a couple inches past the transom. If yours do not, they need to be extended, or the winch post needs to be moved further up the tongue. If it's hitting the center roller and then stopping, the trailer needs to be deeper, or the bunks should be higher. The rollers really should not support any weight once the boat is loaded, they're only needed to support and guide the nose as it's being brought up the trailer. If your ramps are really steep, you may try pulling out a little bit further, to keep the angle of approach low. My boat is harder to load if you back in too far. Playing with the hitch height of the vehicle can make a big difference as well. [/QUOTE]
