OKay folks, Need help with a trailer. Just bought a 21 ft bassteam in perfect condition. Trailer is a good one although I don't know what the make is.  :-[ After going all through the boat the following two problems exist, since i have your attention ;D

1. The boat is hard to recover because the bow slides under the front bow roller and when you finally get it up, there seems to be alot of weight on it. I have had 3 other boats and none has had any weight put on it, just snugged up with winch. The front of the boat doesn't seem to be resting on the bunks like it should. Any suggestion?? :-?

2. Has anyone had any experience with the new Motorguide Wireless trolling motors? I plug this one in and it goes on high and can't shut it off or turn it down. I can gett eh remote to turm it but nothing else. I have tried the reprogramming suggested by the book NO help.  >  THanks>

Sounds like you are backing the trailer to far in the water or your winch stand is to far back. Once you get it on the trailer like it's suppose to be, check and see if the bunks are touching the bottom of the boat. If they aren't you will need to slide your winch stand forward some. The back of your boat shouldn't be hanging off the pads no more than a couple of inches.

Welcome to BR.

a guy in my club has this problem. when you boat is tight to the winch is the boat still resting on the bunks? his doesn't sit on the front of them. If that is your problem you need to lift these bunks so the boat is resting on them when the winch is tight. the bunks should get all the boat weight not the winch.

on the TM make sure its not on "High Bypass"

Frogtog and HPBB: THanks for responding. The extreme front area of the bunks do have some light between the boat and the bunk. I looked and the bracket for the fron part of the bunk is "not" adjustable. After reading the two responses, I was thinking about taking the weight off the front roller, unbolting it and moving it Forward until the it has no weight on it at all. THis will rpobably cause the bow of the boat to be equal or lower than the front roller. THe back pad of the bost in about 1 inch from the end of the back end of the bunk.

  SO if this happens then the choices, I guess, are to install a adjustable bracket and lift the front of the bunk or take the frame of the front roller and cut it lower so the eye can snug up against.

  Which would you guys do????  I appreciate your responses. IT helps "big time" to have folks lie you around here.  Jim

On the trolling motor, since it is wireless, how would I do that???? The guy traded this in on a new Skeeter while getting the annuals down on his end, "Geez impulse buy or what" and he told the dealer it was working fine.

SOrry about the spelling folks, can't believe this keyboard does that.
