    also keep the rollers down as far away from the hull as possible . You dont want the axel coming up or the boat coming down (depending how you look at it) and have rollers pounding on the bottom of your boat every time you hit a bump . Make sense?

    I have had problem with low angle ramps like Coal Harbour. I found my keel would drag on the back cross member if the boat cleared and I tried to pull forward then back again. My two center bunks stop about 4 feet short of the rear crossmamber while the two outside bunks go all the way back. I installed a 12" wide roller on the back crossmember and it seems to work much better. My axles don't hit, but if they did, I think I would rip a piece of PVC pipe length wise and clamp with a couple s/s clamps. All my forward crossmambers have pads I got from trailer manufacture.

    Well guys I have gone done the pad on the axle and also put an adjustable roller on the front and rear cross members so hopefully that's the last we'll hear of it. Thanks for all the suggestions.
