Help setup wobble trailer

[meddo]

I've been adjusting the rollers on my trailer for weeks now and cant get it right. The boat is a '84 Four Winns Candia deck boat. Its a tri-hull and not the original trailer for the boat.

On the back of the trailer I have two sets of four wobble rollers on each side, with keel rollers in the rear, middle and front.

Should the weight be on the back rollers or evenly distributed from back to front? Before I started adjusting today, I would say most of not all of the weight was on the middle rollers. I lowered the keel rollers, letting the weight adjust to the back and was thinking about raising them level after that.


Thanks,
Mike

Pictures would help - I'm sure most like me aren't quite clear on what you're working with. In general, all of the rollers should support an equal amount of weight. With that said, keel rollers generally support most of the weight while those to the outsides apply enough pressure / hold enough weight to keep the boat stable rather than allowing it to rock side to side.

The strongest points of the boat are along the keel.

Too much weight in any one place and you'll have damage for sure.
