Backing Off Of Keel Roller

[luckyinkentucky]

I will be doing the fiberglass job on my new bow eye installation tomorrow. I am needing to back the boat off of the keel roller so that I can adequately access and fill the old Bow Eye holes for re-drilling after I am finished.

From what I understand .... it is ok to slowly back the boat off of the keel roller, and let it hang over the back of the trailer. Am I correct? It will only need to be moved a maximum of a foot. Will my boat be ok in sitting off of the back of the trailer, unsupported, for a day or more?

Also, am I correct in assuming all I will need to do is slowly pull the boat back on the keel roller after all is said and done?

if you only have rollers it will probably work. If you have bunks and keel rollers you might need to raise the back end up.
