Is my trailer set up correctly?

[djw1]

Can anyone help determine if this trailer is set up properly or can use adjustment and or forward bunks/keel roller?

For the past few years I never trailer-ed more than a few miles and rarely gone over 30 mph so it wasn't really a concern. We recently relocated south Fl and I'd like be able to tow her to the keys or marco/naples and I'd like to be sure its set up right. Thanx

Not a big fan of your tie downs in the back, I prefer straps from the transome eyebolts to the trailer, for what it's worth.

Thanks fess and i agree with you but that was old pic and since have the big single yellow strap that goes across the whole boat. Plus with the boat off the trailer a bit using tie downs off the transom eyebolts creates a rather steep angle for the strap (they are not really holding the boat straight down to the trailer)

What i do notice is the trailer flexing, i guess because its -I Beam alum?

We have to put the front tie down on to keep the bow from bouncing up n down on the winch roller. ZIs that normal?

IMO dragging a boat with the transom positioned beyond the bunks puts extra strain on the transom. You might also want a spare tire with jack and tools to change a flat.

Find an EZLOADER dealer at ezloader.com for suggestions and parts for mods to the trailer.
