Bunk adjustment basics

Bunk placement should support the hull, not pinch it. When unsure, stop and get a fit conversation.

Hull support is not one-size-fits-all

Bunks, rollers, and geometry must match how your hull sits and launches. Forcing a generic setup can concentrate pressure, scrape gelcoat, or make solo loading miserable.

• Confirm contact points with the boat aboard (or carefully simulated)
• Think about ramp angle and winch line
• Odd hulls may need a custom support conversation
