I'm getting ready for the Long Beach-Newport run this Saturday.
I've rewired the trailer and repositioned the boat on the trailer. (My
light problem was in the manner they ran the wires from the hitch; they
slipped the wire down the tube and split them at the end of the tube.
Well, when the trailer breaks to let the boat slip off into the water, it
also shears the wires at the end of the tube. Close clearance! Rerouted
the wires and added a second connector at that point)
I've noticed the boat is riding about an inch above the rear roller on the
trailer. Should it ride on both the rails and the roller?
