Bunks
Make sure the bunks are positioned far enough
apart to give your boat as much stability as possible
while transporting. Position the bunks so they are
located just to the outside of a strake that your boat
may have. This will help center your boat and assist
when loading. The bunks need to be adjusted up high
enough to keep the keel from resting on the center
pads. A minimum of one to two inches of clearance is
desirable.
Roller Bunk trailers would be adjusted the same way.
Rollers
Position the roller racks so they are far enough apart
to give your boat stability while transporting. When the
desired width is achieved, move the roller rack system
so that the rollers are just to the outside of a strake. The
rollers need to be adjusted so that you have a minimum
of one to two inches of clearance between the keel of
the boat and the center cross member pads. This will
help center the boat when loading and unloading.
When the desired position is determined, tighten only
enough to hold the bunks or rollers from moving while
the other adjustments are being made. Final tightening
will be done at the end of the adjusting process.
Front Support System
Bunk
The front bunks should be adjusted either in or out so that
the bunk will run just to the outside of the strake of the boat.
The bunks can be adjusted either farther in or out from
the location of the rear bunk position. Adjust the bunks up
so that there is approximately 1” clearance between the
keel of the boat and the center cross member pad.
RB and Roller
The keel of the boat must rest on the center of the
front keel roller system creating a three-point support
system. The keel roller system is designed to fit most
boats without needing any further adjustment.
Once the boat is resting on the roller cradle assembly, the
stabilizer pads can be adjusted. This is accomplished by
sliding the pad up against the boat bottom by hand.
It is not necessary that they carry much weight.
They are designed to give your boat added stabil-
ity while being towed. It may be necessary to ad-
just the assembly up so that they can be moved
further apart giving additional support. Pull the
assembly away from the boat. Place the U-bolt
that holds the assembly to the cross member in a
lower hole in the bracket. Then push the assem-
bly back against the boat. Tighten in position.
