 Boat trailer help Well I got rear ended pulling my boat a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully hardly any damage to boat/trailer. Had to get my winch post welded back on which was about the extent of it all. Finally getting around to setting it up how it was and now there is about a 2in gap between the front bunk board and my hull. I don't believe the trailer is bent or twisted somehow but something had to change. Should I just add to the front bunk board so it'll help support the hull ? Or maybe lower my back bunks and get them even with the front ? Not familiar with adjusting the how the boat rides on the trailer ImageUploadedByTapatalk1428604616.594452.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1428604623.229406.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1428604629.345422.jpg

Re: Boat trailer help Adjust the back bunks down as far as you can that should let the front touch the front board. Lowering your bunks also get the boat lower on the trailer helping you launch in shallower water.

Re: Boat trailer help If you are sure the trailer isn't bent, then maybe the boat is bent.
You can certainly readjust the trailer, but if it were me, I'd want to know why first.

Re: Boat trailer help Something stinks on this one. Something had to move if it was touching before the accident. I would try real hard to figure out what is up before fixing it.

Re: Boat trailer help Almost looks like the winch post isn't far enough forward.

Re: Boat trailer help Take more pics. I have an idea but need to see about 5 pictures of how the boat sits on the trailer.

Boat trailer help The winch post doesn't go much more forward. I put it back where it was before.
I'll have to get more pics sunday or Monday.

Re: Boat trailer help The second picture looks like the tail of trailer is bent down to me which would explain why the front of the boat is off the bunk. Run a string down the frame and see if it is straight.

Re: Boat trailer help If you got rear ended then their insurance should cover your damages. Of course, that is assuming they had insurance
