      Hi Everyone,

      The last time I pulled my 26X I broke a tooth on the trailer winch and had to tie the boat in place. It’s currently sitting 22 inches farther back on the trailer than it should be and the center of balance is behind the trailer wheels. It takes about 120 lbs of weight on the trailer tongue to bring it down enough to attach it to the hitch. I’ve since replaced the winch but haven’t repositioned the boat.

      I’m apprehensive about towing it again with upward pressure on the trailer hitch. Any advice on how to reposition the boat?

        Drop toungue as lo as possible. Build blocks under the stern as high as you can. Use Jack to lift front of trailer. I have used a bottle Jack on the trailer frame to raise toungue. Build blocks under keel at bow. Lower trailer tongue until boat is clear of bunks. You can now slide trailer back to proper position. Reverse blocking procedure and you are good to go. DEFINITELY DO NOT TRAILER WITH THE BOAT THAT FAR BACK.
