Reply With QuoteI'd get rid of the roller under the bow and replace it with a "bumper" type device that the bow can be winched up against. this will take the pressure off the bottom of the boat at the bow.Originally Posted by Wannabe...

BRM i know what you are talking about the tm hitting the winch, had auto piolet on an boat and was breaking props and side covers,had the tm mounted so it protruded in front of my boat.Got kit from MK that lets you mount the tm so that it wiil slide back far enough that the tm wont hit during launch. That has been on 3 diff power drives, havent broken a side cover or prop since.

Hmmmmm... Lots of theories going around here. I will add you just a little more info.
1) I live least than 1/4 mile to the nearest launch and usually launch about 4 miles away off smooth roads. I have made two trips to Eagle Lake in the last two years and the roads to Eagle are smooth.
2) The trolling motor bracket did not hit the roller. I would have noticed that for sure.
3) Once on the trailer, the boat is wenched tight to the rolled and has very little play if any.
I will say that if you have ever fished the rez, the waves will eat you alive. I have been on very rough water alot and it has taken a beating several times but it is made to be used.
