Hello all,
I have had an issue with a trailer I bought, nothing major other than a sheer nuisance. It's a trailer for my 14' aluminum boat, bunk style and has the one roller in the center as a guide on to get it straight. Every time I load the boat from the water onto the trailer, I begin cranking, the keel gets to the point where it's just past the guide roller and POP!, the entire front of the boat pops off center and off the roller itself. It's a real pain in the neck. Now, the crank arm bracket is adjustable up and down. I am wondering if it is set too high or too low. I believe I can also move the whole post/crank arm assembly either forward or backward as well. Any thoughts as to where I should try moving the crank arm? Pics attached of the assembly and the one roller underneath the boat, around the center of the trailer.
