These forums have been extremely informative. I am a newbie to boating. I searched for hours here but do not see a similar posting. Purchased a 15ft. 1962 Starcraft on a 1970 Spartan Tilt trailer. Trailer was missing VIN, had to go through quite the process to get one assigned to register the trailer in NYS. Found a forum on how to off-load the boat onto tires to take trailer to get inspected. Worked great getting off and then back on today. The problem I am having is that I used the tilt on the trailer to reload the boat and it will not "click" down onto the latch. It is almost like there is not enough weight on the bow of the boat to snap the tilt back into position. I tried rocking the boat, tried sitting on the closed bow. Nothing seems to work. The tilt worked fine without the boat on it as I was experimenting on how the heck it was supposed to work. Any suggestions? I can't get to the marina for almost two weeks - will it be dangerous to tow the boat like this? I appreciate any suggestions or help.
