Position on Trailer

[captainron19]

Is there are sort of calculation or guide online to figure what the optimum location of boat should be on trailer? Meaning roller location and how much is acceptible to be hanging off back past the last set of roller?

Re: Position on Trailer

Pretty simple, Ron.

First, position the boat so that there is firm support under the transom.

Then position the winch stand to stop and support the bow.

Finally, position the axle cradle so that 10% of the loaded (ready to launch) weight is on the tongue.

Only calculation needed is to find 10% of the ready to launch weight.
