Location: Rhinelander | All my past boats were aluminum and roller trailers......freshly purchased (used) rig is fiberglass and a bunk trailer, 690VS to be exact.
With the past boats, loading was never a problem, winch all the way up on very shallow landings or powerload to within a foot and winch the rest of of the way.
Now with the bunks, I have been experimenting with finding the trailer's "sweet spot" for depth in the water. Powerloading the boat at idle gets to about 2" from the winch and she won't go much further with out tons of throttle. Not what I really want to do. I can back the trailer in further and eliminate this concern but the back of the trailer is in way to deep allowing potentional current or wind to swing the rear of the boat out of position.
I've already broke the weathered winch strap once hand loading the last 2'.....not fun. Would wd-40 work spraying on the bunks? I'm asking and looking for ideas before my next practice run. |
