BunkorCustomTrailers–Loading
Whenloading,alwayspreparefortheprocedurepriortoreaching the
ramp.Iftherampisbusy,preparationwillshortenthetimeittakesfor
youtogetyourboatoutofthewater.

Youprobablywon’thavetobackthetrailerintothewaterasfartoload
theboatasyoudidtolaunchit.Infact,theeasiestwayistobackyour
trailerupuntiltherearofthebunksareinthewater.Bynotputtingyour
trailertoodeepinthewater,yourboatwillactuallycenteritselfonthe
bunksabout1/3to1/2thedistanceontothetrailer.

Connect the winch cable/strap to the bow eye of the boat. Lock your
winch before attempting to wind the cable/strap in. Once your boat is
alignedandispulledfirmlyagainstthewinchstandrollerorVeeblock
and
yourwinchisinthelockedposition,connecttheboatbowsafetychain
and you are ready to drive to the loading/preparation area nearthe
ramp to connect all other tie‐downs, lighting or electric brake
connections,etc.

CommonCauseofBoatMisalignment
Ifyourboatdoesn’tsitlevelinthewateroryourbunksorrollersarenot
adjustedproperly,youmayhavemisalignmentproblemswithyourboat
whenloading.Basiccorrectionproceduresareasfollows:

CorrectionProcedures
Re‐measureallrollerassembliesthatsetinalineacrossfromeachother.
Makesurethedistancetoeachrollerfromthecenterlineofthetraileris
equal.Inotherwords,theleftsideofyourtrailershouldbeexactlythe
sameastherightside.Thisistrueofbunkorrollertrailers.

Ifyourboatkeepsgoingtotheport(left)side,removetheboat and
loosen the U‐bolts and/or the through bolts that clamp the roller
assemblies on the stern (back) section of the trailer. Force each
assembly tothe right as if you were tryingto turn the handlebars of a
bicycle.HoldeachassemblyinthisturnedpositionandretightentheU‐
boltsand/orthroughbolts.

This repositioning of the roller assemblies should correct the
misalignmentoftheboatonyourtrailer.Ifyourboatgoestoward the
starboard(right)side,reversetheprocedure.

Another common reason for boats not centering themselves is putting
the trailer too deep in the water, which does not allow the trailer
adequatetime to centerthe boat. Thisis especially true on roller style
trailers.

Note:Makesureyourtrailerisnottoodeepinthewaterortheboat
willfloatovertherollersandbedifficulttoloadandcenter.

Larger pleasure boats remain stable under most operating conditions
be‐causeoftheirbeam,draft,andweightdisplacement.However, the
U.S.CoastGuarddoesrequirethatacapacityplatebeaffixedtoallboats
upto20feetlong.Thisplatestatesthemaximumloadcapacity. The
plateshowspersonsandgearinpoundstheboatwillhandlesafely
under normal conditions. The U.S. Coast Guard establishes theseload
capacity ratings. Overloading and improper distribution of weight are
significant causes of accidents. Keep weight below maximum limits for
safetyinturbulentwater.
Important: The presence of the capacity plate does not relieve the
boat operator from the responsibility of using common sense or
sound judgment. Turbulent waters and adverse weather conditions
reducethemaximumloadcapacityratingof thebo at.
