Think i need a little advice. A recent 500 mile tow of my Skerry strapped to the lightway tra ilex trailer exposed some serious problems with my strapping technique. In a way, the very shape of this boat model seems to fight a snug mounting to the trailer. I have no fear of the boat coming free but frequent checks en route reveal a lot of twisting away from correct allignment on the trailer....btw, I do not use ratchet straps.. Tomc

&nbsp; &nbsp;In this case, I believe i have answered my own question. After much fiddling with the trailer, the solution to snuggly fitting the boat to the trailer is found in the proper positioning , both rake and centering, of the trailer banks. A recent 400 mile trip confirmed this... Tomc
