Location: Hayward, WI | I've been the proud new owner of a 2008 1760 GT for about a month now. Have not had it out nearly enough yet but I've been impressed by it more each time I get it on the water.
Have a question on the trailer bunks though. The two center bunks do not contact the boat at the transom. I can wedge a finger between the hull and bunk on the left side, and maybe my pinkie on the right side. They seem to lose contact about 2 feet forward of the transom. I want to get this fixed as I'm assuming these are the primary support of the boat vs the shorter bunks on the side. This is a Trailmaster/Tufftrail trailer.
I'll have to try to get a picture of the situation, but I'm not sure how this can be happening. The short outer bunks are making full contact with the boat, and the brackets are all welded on. The only way to adjust height would be shimming the bunks. The long bunks don't appear to be warped in a way that would cause them to make contact at the front and middle of the bunk but not the rear, but I can't think of anything else that would cause this. Also, since the outer bunks make contact, it seems like the welded on brackets should be allowing contact at the very rear on the center bunks too.
I can understand not making contact between the bunk brackets, but seems like if the two outer bunks make contact at the transom the inner bunks should too.
Again, will see if I can get some pictures, but does anybody have any ideas I might be overlooking? |
