When loading trailer the KEEL keeps hitting the frame!!

[zarillus]

Guys,

Have an old 67 larson with old gator trailer ,Not sure how to remedy this,maybe i am just not backing the trailer in far enough in the water,however everytime i load it i am slamming the keel right into the damn square frame like where you woul dbolt your license plate too. Before it lines up with the very first first keel roller.If i don't hand guide it on perfectly it hits the frame everytime like clockwork.Do i need a larger rearmost keel roller?right now i have a small 4-5 inch roller and i am thinking maybe a 12 would help me center this thing and load it correctly.I have almost no room for error when loading.

Suggestions? please

I prefer to add a set of keel bunks myself, they are easier to line up I like to place them 12 to 18 inches appart. they will also add additional support. tou can look at how some other trailers are set up for other ideas. you may need to adjust other bunks, but it will be much easier than keel repair from roller misses.

wide keel roller(s) AND back in further.... back in just far enough that the bow will float over the last roller
