Hello everyone, I have a 1982 Monarch 16’ extra wide and deep flat bottom that I’ve been doing a small rebuild on. There’s a lot of weight on the little 5” bow roller which has caused the bracket to bend inwards and pinch the roller to the point it doesn’t roll. The back of the boat floats off the trailer but I have to lift and push a lot on the front of the boat to get it to launch. I’m backed in as far as I can go and there’s a 40 hp Yamaha on the back. Like I said the rest of the boat floats good until it gets to that roller. I’m thinking of raising the boasters some and straighten out the roller bracket or replace. I’ve even thought of a bracket with a 12” roller but I’d have to mount the bracket horizontal instead of vertical so there would be no adjusting it but it would sit lower. Any advice, comments are appreciated. Thanks.
Well I tried to upload pictures but it’s not letting me.
