While loading the sub onto the trailer at the launch ramp, ( after a fun day running on the surface at the harbor) we had the trailer at a less than perfect position in the water.   The problem was one of my pontoons was a bit too close to the dock.  Rather that re-align the whole thing I figured I could pull it out , straighten out and go back in for another go.   The sub was back further on the trailer than it was suppose to be.  Anyway I was able to get it back down into the water again and get the sub on there correctly.   Afterwards looking at the trailer I ended up putting this big bow all along the length of trailer !    Like when you see those flatbed semi trailers when they're unloaded, they have an intentional upward bow to them.  There must have been a hell of a lot of stress on that thing!   Anyway now I have an upward flex arc on my sub trailer !
