I noticed I could no longer get my motor toter easily on my trailer roller as the toter was rubbing the bottom of the boat. It has gotten worse and worse over the last year. Today I figured out why - the post the bow stop is mounted on has slid back about an inch. There are 2 U bolts with a connector plate under the main beam of the front of the trailer. You can see where both bolts and the bow stop post have slid backward, meaning the boat is riding back that much further on the trailer.
I am planning on getting the boat in the water so I can hopefully loosen the u bolts and slide the post back into place. Any risk in doing this assuming I get the bolts back on tight? I have a 1,000 mile+ trip coming up and want to get this addressed quick.
