Therefore hitting the roller. It used to happen to me all the time, til I quit. Havent happened since I quit. I have ALOT of trailer out of the water both when I am unloading and loading. It may not cause an issue with the trolling motor off to the side like in the piks above, but it doesn't make sense to me why not? Boat is made to cut theru the water at the V. So to propel it from the side seems like it would contradict its forward motion. I never had to take Physics, so I'm most likely wrong, but Im just saying. I do know in a current setting if you dont anchor right in the center of the V you will sway back and forth constantly and that drives me crazy while catfishing. hahahaha

Anchoring is different.....forward motion under power is forward motion whether off center or not

Might consult the factory and consider lowering the roller. Have same issue. Have the MK plate but only use it on steep ramps like Barnett and Washington. Generally, I'll just unload as slow as possible. To give time for front to float. I've busted one side cover so far.

Have gotten pretty good at the two man thing. Two problems
1. Flat bottom and doesn't slide very good. Stays in place on trailer well.
2. I fish along a lot and it's difficult to do on a steep ramp. I do back slowly and liked wannabe I have broken one side of the plastic cover. Will consult the mfr. also taking back to marina to see if my guy has any other suggestions. He has been very good to me

You might want to go another way here. Go to WalMart in the kitchen stuff and get you a couple of those $10 white plastic cutting boards. Cut them into strips the width of your trailer bunk boards and screw them into your boards. They will make the boat come off and go onto the trailer much easier.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Gives me food for thought

Silicon spray em real good. It works great. Snuggle in, power up.

Mine hits the bow roller when launching if the ramp is steep. I put this aluminum under it and problem solved
