Posted By: Mike Coon 26S Date: 4/13/09 11:34a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: bow stops (James Bielinski) This never happened when I trailered my Prscision, but it's one of the first things I noticed when hauling out my Mac. Once it's out of the water, it's virtually impossible to winch it up any more. Before I pull it out from the ramp, I've been winching the nose up the roller further and then it settles down to close to tight after I pull it out. I'm hoping someone responds to why this happens and what we can do to solve the problem. I know the boat's not going anywhere, being back a few inches, but the bow moves up and down a bit when trailering and I don't like it acting like a rocking horse.
