Adjusting the trailer for a better fit
I'm going to rebuild my trailer this winter/spring. Rewire, lights, sand, paint, carpet, etc. I have a question about adjusting the trailer.
The bow sits very heavily on the bow roller. So hard, that no matter how loose the pin in the roller is, it won't roll. It's rough on the bow, and Donny just fixed all the bow issues so I'd like to keep it nice.
The "V" guide about 3 feet back from the bow stop does not touch the boat at all. Is this for guiding onto the trailer only, or can it support some of the boat weight? I'm wondering about raising the "V" to support a little of the boat and take some weight off the bow stop.
Thoughts? Other suggestions? You can see the "V" in the background of the image.

I guess I'm just glad I don't have a bow stop issue because my trailer doesn't have a bow stop.

Now I know why you're norcalpr! Nice taco.
I have a trailer with no front bunks either. I noticed at the boat ramp guys with the same boat as me but a couple years newer had front bunks and no issues getting the bow to raise. I was going to weld some up but then I started putting my rear tires of the truck 6" deep and never had another issue, it was finally low enough to float right over the top of the buddy. Worked on all ramps too. But if not the front bunks would be on the trailer!
Anyways I always recognized your handle but thought it was just a coincidence.
