Ok guys, just got my boat back from the dealer, moved axle forward 9 or 10 inches, so my tongue weight is 160-170, down from 320, so thats about right i believe.. ill post before and after pics, plus one of the problem i talk about below.

However, when i put it in the garage, i released the pressure from the winch strap, and the bow of the boat raised up about an inch or two off the bow stop, and the whole trailer flexed from where the front of the boat rests on the front roller.. Is this normal? Then, when i tightened it back down, it pulls the bow down harder onto the rollers which are in the last pic i attached, and that is when the trailer flexes.. I hope i explained that so you can understand it.. it pulls the boat down farther, even though its all ready resting on the front guide rolls.

sorry to bug ya all again, just dont remember this on any of my other boats!

thanks again

Dave
