[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 490641, member: 15636"] Well, one aspect to consider is the boat ramps you use! How angled is the ramp and how deep do you need to drop the trailer in? For example, on a steeper ramp - if you added [b]side guide posts[/b] off the trailer frame to keep the boat aligned straight on the trailer - it may be possible to get the bow within a few feet of the winch post. That and a 2-speed manual winch ([i]link previously posted[/i], but Eastern Marine is another good trailer parts source, [color=#0000FF]link = www.easternmarine.com[/color]) should do it. Also look over your trailer. If a bunk trailer, put vinyl gutter material on the carpeted bunks, or lower the bunks and add those roller assemblies on top, to make the hull easier to move. [/QUOTE]
