I had the boat out on the water this week so I was able to adjust the trailer.
I raised the winch/bow roller assembly higher (near the top) so the bow roller is above the the eye on the boat.
I also added 2 pieces of plastic 4" wide and 40" long to each bunk.
When I retrieved the boat the back of the bunks were in the water, but the front of the bunks weren't.
I'm not sure if it was the plastic bunks or the fact that the winch was a little higher, but I was shocked at how easy it was to winch the boat onto the trailer.
So, that was a good day. Of course, the lack of wind and current really helped too.
So, now I can move on to other things and put the trailer adjustments behind me.
Thank you everyone who made suggestions along the way. _________________ Gypsy

I like the aluminum Nextrail boat trailers as they're made with a lot of stainless steel fittings.
Pictured below is my last 22' C-Dory on a Nextrail tandem trailer with the company phone number visible:

Nice looking trailer. I have to ask what they do to separate the aluminum from the stainless steel to prevent the galvanic corrosion. Seems that would b e important especially if you are dunking it into salt water.
