Need some help, having a hard time loading my 18ft Outrage onto the trailer. It's a Continental trailer with rollers and the two side bunks...can't seem to center when loading and end up in the water to get it right, but it's not easy...any suggestions...do I need to add additional bunks to make it self center? Thanks
Billy,
You have two options. The first is trailer guides, which I did on my Cox trailer. Helps me center the boat and gives a visual reference for the rear of the trailer when backing down the ramp. The second is a set of bunks, angled on either side of the rollers to capture the keel and keep it tracking straight onto the trailer. The second option only really works if all your rollers are the same size. The third option is keep practicing and you will learn your trailer, your boat and get it right.
Kamie, Thanks for the info; I already have the guide posts, think that the extra set of bunks on each side of the rollers might be the best idea....that should make the boat self center onto the trailer....
