New Trailer

[BoozeCruise]

I have a 25'7" Seafox open fisherman. I bought a trailer for it and need to adjust it to fit my boat, i have no idea how to do this other than find the center of gravity for the boat, which i also have no idea how to do. Can someone give me some assistance, please?

Welcome to iboats.

Forget CG of the boat. You are interested in weight distribution of the whole package.

Position boat so that the transom is supported; no overhang at stern.

Position the winch stand so that the bow eye is below the bow stop, and arrange a safety chain from the bow eye to the trailer frame. Put a turnbuckle in the chain so that you can hold the bow down firmly.

Position the axle cradle so that about 10% of the total weight (boat and trailer, ready to tow) is on the hitch.

Good luck.
