I'm not sure if I should ask this under pontoons, or here.
I've never had a pontoon before. its a 24-footer. the marina put the boat onto the trailer for me. He told me to back in so only 3/4 of bunks were under water, then he drove it up onto the trailer till it hit the front stop. but when I pulled it out, the bunks are now bent. they are wood, so I hope they will go back after a while.
I was thinking I should back the trailer in so the entire bunks are under, then the 'toon is driven/pulled until it hits the front stop, not having it 'pushed' up on the bunks, flexing them.
ideas?
