I've experienced both, when launching (or, more accurately, moving the boat back off the trailer while trying to get things aligned) the CB getting stuck on the trailer and, only once, having deep enough water that the CB bypassed the trailer. My own stupidity was the only reason the CB was down in all such cases. John Tyner M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee" On 10/6/2022 3:56 PM, Peter Zimowsky via montgomery_boats wrote:
Hi Dave: Thanks for all the valuable info on the CB line. With all that info, I believe I am not the person to do it. I can’t even change a light bulb, ha! I’ll need to find a boat yard in Seattle that can do it. My son lives there so I have a place to stay. Thanks again, P.S. I know the boat slips onto the trailer if the CB is down. It just goes up in the trunk. However, If the line is loose, will the boat launch with the CB down? Or will it get stuck on the trailer. Or, if launched deep enough, will CB by pass the trailer?
