Thanks again Griff!!!

If thats does not work buy a good heavy car wash mit and cut an opening on the front side disassemble the roller and slip mit over the center piece of the roller. problem solved.

I have the polyurethane rollers. Now I get yellow marks

If you are spending time and money on your bow/winch stand; ditch that setup, and buy the best:

They will sell and ship the stand and winch mount. I GUARANTEE you will love it better than your current setup. I've loaded the exact same hull on dozens of setups and this one is best.

Also, the BEST thing you can do for your bow roller or rubber/silicone contact points is LUBE THEM.

I keep a can of this in the toolbox on the trailer.

Spray down the contact points, and even the point(s) on the hull as it get's close to the bow stand. Any marks that are left will wipe right off with a cloth. Works like a champ!

A buddy has that on his Myco trailer. I don't care for it myself. I'm always the one to do the truck and with that setup, it's always a guessing game on how far up to load the boat. Just last week it took 2 times to reposition the boat, and now it's too far forward by an inch or so. Kinda hard to play the gofast boater pulling forward to eyeball the transom only to need to back back in while the fishing boats are waiting to pull out :) We've always said we need to put a zip tie on the cable as a reference to the winch spool, but never have.
I like my Eagle double roller winch stand. Winch up till the bow eye stops under the top roller, done. Pull away. Like a pro :D

Very simple fix.
If you have a winch strap, put a Sharpie permanent marker stripe across the strap, directly across the top of the spool. This length--to the bow eye will never change, regardless of the angle of the ramp/boat.

I have a cable on mine, and this is my indicator:

It took me longer to walk out to the barn, snap the pic, and upload it than it did to implement. :D The yellow is paint and the red is electrical tape.

I was retrieving with the help of my buddy and his Father-in-Law a few months ago. My buddy was watching me while rotating the winch handle, and was asking "how far up?"
His Father-in-Law was looking over his shoulder and said: "Come on! Any dumbass can look at the winch and figure that out!" I laughed my ass off.

You'd think with the higher cost of a Myco over other brands, they'd supply all owners with a sharpie and a piece of tape. :)


That's kinda the same concept we have discussed.
