Location: Stevens Point, WI | No matter what side you put a kicker on, it will lean a little with a person standing on that same side. If you look around, every 690/692 I've ever seen with a kicker has been mounted on the starboard side.
B-Good, as for loading, as long as one has a bunk trailer, you won't have issues loading. I'm betting you had a roller trailer on your Alumacraft? Or, you were putting the trailer in too deep, a very common problem with a lot of people. I put my trailer in a lot less than most, you can always let the truck slide back a bit if you need to.
Another thing you can do if your having loading problems, when your about to hit the trailer, you stand up, and use your right hand to load the boat. By doing this, it will help even out the weight. I even moved heavy items like tackle boxes to the center of the boat. This WILL make a HUGE difference. I had a 175 Alumacraft Magnum with a Shoreland'r trailer, this trick worked EVERY time after I learned to do this! |
