Hello! <br /><br /><br />I recently purchased a 2000 Hurricane Fun Deck 228R and love it <br />except... <br /><br /><br />Getting it on the trailer can be a BEAR! <br /><br /><br />Here are some facts: <br /><br /><br />Trailmaster 2000 bunk trailer tandem axle surge brakes. <br /><br /><br />When loaded, bow eye rests just below winch roller. <br /><br /><br />When launching, I back trailer in until the stern just floats <br />Any floating of the boat changes the angle of the bow such that the <br />horizontal portion of the bow hangs up on the winch roller.. <br /><br /><br />When loading, the bow(forward edge of bow platform) strikes the winch <br />roller head on, further winching finds the winch roller riding rather <br />heavily against the underside of the bow platform until it finds its <br />home above the bow eye. <br /><br /><br />The problem is relieved if I keep the trailer further out of the water, <br />this, however, causes me to winch the boat quite far onto the bunks. <br />Even when I pre-dip the bunks I get nervous at the amount of force I'm <br />applying to get the vessel loaded, my fear is pulling out the bow <br />eye(is this valid?) <br /><br /><br />Any help or advice is much appreciated!
