You'll need to do the MAC wiggle or Mac quick stop(bump) to get the bow secured in the bumper stop. What's happening is you don't have enough tongue weight when it's not snugged up. This causes your trailer to sway.

Chip is correct!! This is one issue not to 'skimp' on.

My humble opinion,

Again Dimitri you bring up excellent points. I agree, don't be 'pound wise and penny foolish.'

Sunday morning, getting ready to leave Bell Harbor, the wind was blowing 17mph with higher gusts. It was crazy just getting out away from the dock in that much wi...

Heavy seas and high winds: All fins down, ballast filled up and keep the speed at 6 knots. Has worked great for us on Puget Sound.

I've never stayed at a marina yet that the halyards aren't slapping. Might not be popular, but we think it adds some flavor to the whole experience.

Starboard side aft rail.

Rack and pinion on a 2002X. Never had a problem.
