Thread: Trailering Bass Boat

thanks for straightening out my mess!

Hope it is your solution….

What you are looking at here is the stepped transom. That "curved area" that looks like it should be sitting down on the bunk in reality is likely no more then 6-12" long

Edit to add- it does look as though the right bunk did move inward, which would make the bunk spacing too narrow, not too wide.

Ok I see the step now. I've only had aluminum boats so my boats don't have a step.

I’ll bet the lag screws are loose and the boards are crooked from being wet.
Next time at the lake with the boat off, take your ratchet set with you. Push the bunk over and tighten the lag screw on each bunk.

what do I win if right?

went fishing today. all bunks are as tight as "Dick's hatband". Appreciate the responses.
