Subject: RE: New Nav. 165!

Dave,here is my 2 cents worth.The weight on the hitch should be 10-15% of the total rig weight loaded. Any less than 10% the boat gets "tail happy" while towing in a cross wind. That is not a fun tow and will wear you down quickly.It sounds like you have the correct roller trailer for the 165CS. The stern should be right over the last roller to give maximum support for you transom long term.If it hangs over you may have issues with cracks in the transom several years down the road. P.S. the roller trailer is great. Make sure you twist the rear set of rollers DOWN(making a V) before loading,its a piece of cake to drive on them. Good luck.
