I just pulled my boat off the trailer and flipped it to put on some gator glide and noticed where it sits on my trailer the bottom is dented and hooked at the transom. Boat is a 1750 gator trax intimagtor. Has this happened to anybody else? You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

You trailer bunks need to sit under your runners or that will happen _________________ You have your whole life to be an idiot, take a day off!

When I get my new rig I think I'm gonna replace the bunks with 2x6 bunks for more area. _________________ "Two people in this world wear helmets, and that's dare devils and pussies." - Willie Braun

Talked to kent at gator trax and he said it's from running over stuff and not from my trailer. He told me to use lab metal to fill in the hooks on the transom. Has anybody used this stuff? I would be puttin it down then the gator glide on top

Also some run trailers that are over rated for the load they are carrying. You don't need a 3000 lb rated trailer for a 1200 lb rig, the suspension is too stiff to work properly and just beats the hell out of a boat.

Never heard of this happening from the trailer but that being said , why move the front of the bunks only? Towing them in a little in front so they are crossing several ribs over the length of the hull? _________________ http://www.gatorglide.com/ gatorheads@comcast.net

The runners on my trailer do not extend all the way to the back of the hunt deck. It has a .125 bottom. Should I extend my boards? No dents as of now but it's new. _________________ Excel 1851vF86 w/ MB 55V SHIT HAPPENS

I made sure I had plenty of room to move my winch forward so the whole boat would be on the bunks _________________ 17.5x48 CC w/ PD 36 Gen 3 EFI E2 "They cant put anything on the internet that isn't true."
