I was just looking at the way mine are set up. Now would be a good time for me to adjust since I am replacing 2 bunks and adding 2 additional bunks.

I have 4 keel rollers and they appear to be evenly raised just above the trailer crossmembers.

Typically, the keel rollers are all set to the same height. This height will depend on which model you have and if the hull sits inside or on top of the fenders of the trailer.

Once the rollers are set, the bunks are set to steady the boat.
