All,
Hope to pick up from everyone's experience before doing any more damage to the boat. Yesterday was a bear loading the boat onto the trailer because of the wind. It was a quartering wind blowing from the rear port side (about 7-8 o:clock) at about 15 to 18 MPH. I kept trying to approach the trailer from the downwind side but fighting the wind kept the boat crabbing about 45* from straight in. Finally got it on but not before hitting the right rear vertical guide on the trailer (splintered the wood and the mounting bolt put a nice 3" gash on the right pontoon) Open to any suggestions on how to change the approach for some better luck besides trial and ERROR.
