 Ian & Julie Wed 02 Sep 2020 09:50:42 | Having just had four attempts before finally recovering her onto the trailer, I can honestly say I feel your pain ! It was my wife who successfully did it in the end and she simply manoeuvred the boat into position by holding onto the shrouds rather than using the back line which I had been doing. Holding the shrouds gives a real positivity to positioning and ensures everything is in line. I found also that the trailer needs to be in the water far deeper than you’d expect. | |

I have six keel rollers on my trailer, I think they are necessary to get the boat up easily. I haven't had any problems with either launching or recording. on my trailer the keel rollers take almost all the weight, the side rollers keep the balance. | |
| Boyanoy Sun 12 Feb 2023 11:55:12 | I drove down so that about 2/3 of the wheels were under water and then it was fine. | |
| Ian & Julie Sun 12 Feb 2023 19:33:50 | Not good for the tyres and wheels but we’ve always had to completely submerge them to get her on the trailer. We’ve no keel rollers at all, just a piece of wood that she sits on ! | |
| Boyanoy Tue 14 Feb 2023 06:01:27 | Rinse with fresh water and there is probably no major danger. I replaced some of my rollers, they didn't cost that much, it will probably be worth it to avoid the worry. | |
