Some years back I had a SR AJ that was a pain in the rear to center when retrievng boat. I installed Stoltz 12" delf centering keel roller and my headaches went away, at least ones associated with loading boat on trailer.
Now, I am having similar problems with a 29' Proline V hull. I will be installing another Stoltz but I cannot remember the best place for this roller. My bunks are huge and about 15+ feet long and mostly support the boat. I have 4 keel roller cross members but I cannot remember if I should install keel roller near winch or first roller cross member that bow first contacts when winchin it. Unfortunately, the two roller cross members towards bow each have a three roller set up that pivots. The outbound rollers in each set up are 12" stoltz and center one is 8" stoltz. I could replace one of these 12" rollers in each of the set up? Any recommendation is appreciated. My get feeling is to install it at the first cross member.
