Florida to New Jersey R29CB tow

[Jfrano]

So we made it back safely to NJ. We had one mishap within 5 miles of the start and didn’t realize it. So as I noted in an earlier post the trailer was swaying badly, turned out caused by the dealer leaving the bow 6” or so shy of the front roller. I pulled down a side street to take a look at the trailer and inadvertently hit some tree branches. They cracked the center and right plexiglass windshield (curves and tinted) in front of the Command Bridge station and cracked the glass on the port top hatch cover.

Any idea where these parts can be purchased?

Not sure about the parts, but leave the roller where it was. It doesn't come it's just to protect the hull when you're getting on and of the trailer on a steep angle at the ramp.

Call Ranger Tugs in Kent Washington and ask for Richard, he is in charge of parts. He should be able to help you out and or get you in the proper direction. Sorry to read of your mishap.

Not sure what you mean about the bow roller. The bow roller should always be up against the bow.

No sir, not on a bunk style trailer. That small front roller is to protect the keel when loading or unloading only.

You have an r-23 so your configuration may be different. My boat (R-27) and all that I have seen from 25 up have one roller on the stop and the Bow snugs into it.
