[QUOTE="thill, post: 511374, member: 4972"] I apologize for not reading this entire thread, but I recommend that you install a bow eye just below where the boat contacts the winch roller. The new bow eye will be what you winch the boat up with. It will also secure the boat to the trailer better, in case of an accident I have done this for several customers and they are always very happy with the results. You can get a quality 3/8 inch bow eye on Amazon for something like 15 or 20 bucks. It probably takes a 1/2 hour to install including sealing and making backing plates. Use the biggest Fender washers you can find to distribute the load properly. You will be glad you did. [/QUOTE]
