transom roller not contacting boat

[BIGcarpy50]

I have a 1976 starcraft supersport and the final Keel roller dosn't contact the hull. The transom rests on the bunks and i just want to make sure that this is ok. it looks like the keel stope about 2 feet before the transom so i figure this is normal. just wondering.

Could you move your winch forward so the boat can sit up more? Its not supposed to be 2 feet hanging off it that's what your saying?

If the keel slopes upward at the transom, then there's no way for the last roller to make contact once the boat is fully loaded. Raising that roller would mean the boat would have to climb over a higher roller to slide back off the trailer. I just set mine so that the last roller is the same height as the next in line. It's more of less there to prevent frame contact. The bunks will support the transom just fine so long as they extend beyond it an inch or two.

yeah i know what you mean...here is a pic..the boat length is perfect...the transom is just about 1/2 too high

Ohh i didn't know what you meant... That should be no problem, my trailer doesn't even have one in the back just 3 the whole length all at the same height.
