Hello all. I need some advice.
When trialering my boat, a 2008 Glastron DX235, 5.0MPI with an SEI 116, I approach the trailer with just enough speed to get locked into the bunks. I have guide posts so drifting off in a stiff breese or current isn't a problem. I have the matching EZLoader trailer with 4 bunks and I leave approx 3 inches of the longest set out of the water.
Once locked in, I power up to get as close to the bow stop as possible. I rarely hit the bow stop and have minimal winching to do. If I do hit the bow stop, it is never violently.
Is this a good tecnhique? Or should I stop once I am locked in and winch the rest of the way?
Thanks.
