Any tips on straightening or replacing bow stop arms for a 21' magic tilt trailer? The PO power loaded the mess out of it and bent outward the two the arms that hold the bow stop roller, the roller is sitting about 3-4 inches lower than it 'should' be sitting. There's not a total crease, but I'm baffles as to 'how' to fix it- Step 1, is obviously to put the boat in the water and dock it while I work on the trailer... Step 2, is how to straighten these two beams that hold the bow stop. I've considered taking 2 pieces of wood on each side and then a C-clamp + drill to compress the bend out of it, but something tells me it won't be anywhere near strong enough to straighten it out.
