I just released my winch line from the bow eye and was surprised
to see Dream Catcher rise up about an inch. I went ahead and pulled
out the bow stop on the trailer and replaced it with the new setup,
finally. Now there's a bow stop above and below the bow eye and
they won't get chewed up by the cable like the last one always did.
One launch and retreival and time for a new bow stop. I'm glad to
see that happen.

However, that rise of the bow has me a little worried. When you
release your winch on the trailer, does your bow rise any? I've
got the original WWP trailer, and it has the two bunks and the
one keel roller up forward. I suspect the keel roller is too high,
but don't know if I should lower it at all or leave it. OK, maybe
it wasn't an inch, I just looked at how much an inch is. Maybe a
half inch.

Not even asking for comments on this, I know I'll get 'em from
this group! :-)
