I have an EZ loader tandem axle trailer for my 22' 1995 Angler. During my spring inspection I noticed that one of the stern inside bunks was not touching the boat by less than 1/4" for about 10" towards the bow. The other 3 bunks have contact with the hull. Is this a problem for a C-Dory and should I consider installing a spacer to remedy this problem?
Thanks!

No spacer needed. You may want to move the forward bunk support up so the bunk meets the hull. The bulk of the weight is well supported, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over ten inches.

The 15 year old boy in me found that last sentance funy.... :oops:
 
The 68 year old man in me didn't find it funny at all :roll:
 
I'm in between :roll: :mrgreen: :oops: :P :lol:

Good luck messing with the bunks. Adding a spacer under the bunk board to get it to conform seems to make sense, but for 10" I don't think I would do it either.

I adjusted mine up and in, using spacers: made a big difference in ease of loading.
 
I'm trying to figure out why spacers would be needed, unless the bunk support isn't adjustable and is welded to the frame?
