25 baja outlaw on a dorsey trailer?
 

I have a 25 baja outlaw on a dorsey trailer and the bow of the boat is not going all the way to the bow stop. I've tried not putting the trailer in the water so far, also have out the trailer in farther and neither seems to help. It seems like the bow stop is to low, if you bring the boat further up on the trailer the bow eye will be over the bow stop. I thought it might need a v-block instead of a roller but I haven't found one big enough yet. I usually put the trailer in the water with about 3/4 of the fenders covered. any suggestions?

It would help if we could see those pix. My 272 is on a Dorsey and fits like a glove. You must have the wrong trailer or someone "fixed it" in the past.

sorry I'll try the pics again, im sure its the correct trailer since it has 25 ol on the trailer, the more I think about it it would seem logical that they might have replaced the wood on the low v on the trailer and used to thick of wood. Maybe thats why, or is it set up different than others?

Run the line over the roller instead of under it and pull the boat up into position.

You can kind of see what i'm talking about here

I just winch the boat over that first roller

Shouldn't the strap stay under the roller for safety reasons?

I run mine under the first roller and above the second. If you only have one roller and you can't get the boat on the trailer all the way by running the strap under it then run it over it will be just fine. Yes, it is probably technically a little safer to have the boat physically connected to the trailer, but realistically it's not going to matter. That strap is not going to hold the boat on the trailer if you get in an accident and the weight of the boat will be enough to keep it on the trailer when you're pulling it out of the water.

If you run the strap over the bow stop, the boat is going to be sitting on the hook, and it's going to eat up your gel. If the stern is sitting completely on the trailer, I'd move the bow stop so that it fits correctly. No sense in half assing it.

Not if you winch the D ring up and over the roller
