G'day Saurian,
I understand what you mean, but not what I need ... keep in mind I have 3 tonne of boat here ... and if it is blowing 30kts while trying to put it on the trailer, then I need it to be self sufficient with loading / centering.
G'day Gelsec,
I did extend it right back.
The fence sticks out about 400mm past the back of the boat when it is on the trailer.
It works well and centres perfectly.
First use of the trailer was on easter monday when it was blowing 25kts... it worked perfectly.
The thing I have to watch is that the fence goes up the centre of the pontoons. Outboard powered cats dont have that centre pod to deal with, and therefore they can have a closed loop on the rear protruding end of the fence.
I cant, both sides of the fence have to be separate ... I cant put a closed loop at the end of them, due to the fact that the centre pod would hit it when it came up the trailer.
I just have to watch that the sponson of the cat doesnt get in between the fences ... otherwise I am gonna wreck things
Cheers
Pete
