Bow Roller Bounce

Right off hand, I don’t know of anything you could do. I always keep the boat hooked up to the winch strap, until I get out of the truck to get in the boat to back it off the trailer.

Same here if it’s a steep ramp. Our ramps are usually very smooth though even the dirt ones.

I prep for launch in wat i call the prepping area. But i never unhook my bow strap until at waters edge. I try to be courteous and time efficient. Hope others understand. If not i feel they havent been around the boating world long to understand my purpose in doing so.

They all bounce until you strap the bow down. There is likely 2000 lbs in the rear of rhat boat compared to 1000 in front. It’s been like that for 20 years that I have run a cat. Most other boats are likely will do the same. Just strap the boat down until you get close to the water or until you get on flat land. It might save you some embarrassment one day.

Sorry. Spell check and i cant see anymore

I leave mine hooked and cranked tight, and you want that eye pushed up touching the roller when you power load it, its its a few inches behind the roller its gunna bounce on bad roads. I like how the boats sit on the trailer, I was able with both my sabre and now my puma when launching, just as the boat starts to float up in the rear, unhook the eye and step into the boat, by the time I’m plopping down into the seat, the shift from my body weight has the boat sliding off the trailer…
