Trailers will require some adjustments in most cases. This prevents the boat from bouncing up and down on the trailer, which it will do without this added strap. Look at the height and shape of the bottom of the boat. You will need it in step 6.Step 5. Stretch the winch strap or cable to the back of the trailer and rest it on the frame of the trailer. Looking to see if I can get some suggestions on whether or not I need to move the roller down.

Using a local boat ramp launch your boat in the water and off your old trailer.Step 3. Loosen all winch post adjustment bolts and slide the assembly toward the boat, positioning the bow stop roller just above the bow eye. After this look under the boat and see were the bunks are in relation to the bottom of the boat. One is a straight shaft and the other is a V drive. If you are sure your boat will NOT touch the new trailer's fenders proceed to step 2. Stop at an auto store or boat dealership and get a 5 pin adapter to solve the issue. Secondly, additional clearance is needed for the shaft to clear the trailer frame. Test your lights to be working properly.Step 10. Back your new trailer in the water in front of your boat so you can float the boat on. Even a nylon strap has a bit of give; a steel turnbuckle and chain would not have any give and all the dynamic loading would be transferred to the bow eye.

Here I replace the bow stop.
The straight shaft places the engine more toward the front and the axle position on the trailer may have to be moved forward as well to achieve proper tongue weight. Modify this as follows:--remove the forward bolts on the bracket that attach it to the winch stand;--adjust the tension of the remaining bolt or bolts so the two side of the bracket can pivot;--re-install the existing bow stop roller onto the bracket so it is above the winch strap, using the holes that were previously used secure the bracket to the winch stand; --purchase another bow stop roller, and install it on the bracket using the holes that were previously used for the original bow roller.This should give you a two-roller bow stop. Stop at an auto store or boat dealership and get a 5 pin adapter to solve the issue.Step 6.

Raise the forward end of the bunk until it touches the bottom of the boat and tighten the forward-most bolt. I have all the original paperwork and the boat and trailer were purchased together as a package from the BW dealer new. When a boat has a pulpit, the way the hull is supported while the boat is loaded and unloaded is important. The second strap adds a back up in case the main winch strap should become loose or part. And, of course, there is the safety chain.Having a keel roller near the winch stand is very important.
Slowly crank the winch and pull the boat up on the trailer. $9.39. This helps to bring the boat onto the trailer more easily.
In general you want the bow stop to be above the bow eye at the end position because:--it will help to stop the boat moving forward and upward in the event of some sudden stop or other tendency for the boat to move forward, and--it is hard to get the bow eye over the bow stop if the end position is to be with the bow stop below the bow eye; usually you cannot winch the boat into the position.
