Roller trailer loading problems

#799897 - 07/04/09 02:46 PM

Hey guys

I'm having some real difficulty with my Shoreland'r trailer

I purchased a 2003 Lund Pro V Tiller with the IPS hull and it came with a shoreland'r roller trailer which is rated for 2300lbs. This trailer had small bunks in the front and rollers in the back. This spring I decided to change the bunks out for the XR roller upgrade, and I can't figure out the correct measurements for the front and back rollers

When I load the boat it wants to rub the keel on the skid plates located on the corssmembers before the front rollers will actually pick the boat up I didn't have this problem with the bunks though. I couldn't stop raving about my shoreland'r before I did the upgrade, and now I'm ready to pull my hair out

I've tried everything I can think of!! I called Shoreland'r and I was told to adjust the rollers to the same distance in front as in the back. I've done that. I was also told to raise the rear cross member up. I did that too, but now instead of the boat riding low in between the fenders it rides high above the fenders and it's closer to one side than to the other. I've also noticed that it has more of a tendancy to load more to one side than to the other and also tends to lean more to the one side than to the other

I know this might sound stupid, and It might sound like a rookie problem, but I assure you I've never had this many problems with a roller trailer in my entire life

My last trailer was a Karavan and It always loaded straight, so I don't get it

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if anybody lives close by and would be willing to assist me with this would be greatly appreciated

I'd also buy them a case of Ice cold beer for their time and energy

Thanks

A picture would be nice not sure what the XR up grade is. If your rubbing the center pads your rear rollers have to be a tad low. This could be causing the crooked loading she is not following the rollers. Those rub pads are there for some landings that are way steep.

Yeah, I'll have to get some on here asap.

The XR upgrade kit is the roller kit that you can mount up front, in place of the small bunks

Send a picture to me. I have setup many trailers working at a dealer. I just need to see the setup.
