I am changing over from rollers to bunks as per this thread.
174.122.107.26/glassic-forums/2-main-forum/53291-hull-repair.html
How do you determine how high to put the bunks and the keel rollers? My keel rollers now seem to be sitting up rather high off of the frame as well as the rollers where I am going to put my bunks. Is there a procedure for setting these up? I know it depends upon the boat depending on the shape of the hull.

If it were me, I'd leave the keel rollers where they are, they appear (in the older pics) to be about as low as you can go and still keep the keel from contacting the trailer frame. (You do want a little "fudge factor" room there!) For the height of the outer bunks, measure the current rollers height at the top of the rollers in center near the bracket. You'll want your finished bunk height to be the same distance, to properly support the hull. After you get the boat back on the trailer, you can "tweak" the adjustments to finish the installation.
