[QUOTE="thill, post: 511936, member: 4972"] No. All the weight should be on the bunks. Only enough weight on the front roller to keep the bow centered when loading. The center rollers are so that when you are loading the boat on the trailer, the keel doesn't grind into the cross members. Once the boat pulls up, it sits completely on the bunks, those rollers job being done already. If you are having problems unloading, next time your boat is off the trailer, try spraying a can of Pam cooking spray heavily onto the bunk carpet and work it in. Your boat should slide easily on and off after that. Reapply every once in awhile. I've had trailers that were a real pain to deal with. My last one, I pulled everything and added new brackets and bunks. Then it was great. When done right, it should be easy to load and launch. Let me see if I can find some pics of a good bunk setup.
