Trailer question

[Tygh]

While installing my trim tabs on my new 170cc yesterday, I noticed that the rear of the boat is not supported by the trailer bunk. The back 8-12" hangs off the bunks. With the weight of the motor, I am concerned about hull deflection (and I do notice that the hull back there is not straight, it slopes down).

I have attached a picture, but not sure you can make out the lack of support. Is this something that I should be concerned about???

I have the same set-up as yours. You need to move the bow winch post a little forward, to support the transom. With the weight of the F75, it must have some support. Double check your tongue weight after the adjustment..it shouldn't exceed your tongue weight limit.

Also check that your bow eye is all the way up againt the roller. I agree with Warren on the fix if the boat is wenched all the way onto the trailer.
