Jacking up boat

[bassnbubba]

I need to replace the roller and install bow guard and do a little gel coat touch up. I have a triton fiberglass bass boat. I was wondering the safest way to jack the bow of the boat up off of the roller? Any info would help. I am pretty clueless so detailed instruction would be appreciated.

If you're just lifting the bow, raise the trailer tongue as high as it will go with the tongue jack, put a jack stand with a piece of wood under the keel or wood blocks under the keel and lower the tongue jack until you have the room you need. Make sure you chock the tires.

Where on the keel? Where it turns flat?

I would block it near the bow roller where you still have room to change the roller.
