trailer set-up

[lenny22]

I have a 25 foot twin outboard WA that sits on the trailers bunks with part of the hull that includes the trim tabs resting on the bunks. The tabs are the recessed kind, where they are up against the hull. You can see that there is no stress on the tab piston. Sometimes it goes on this way, other times it goes inside where the tabs are. I dont' want to adjust the bunks inward because that would make the boat less stable on the trailer. But I don't want to damage the tabs either. Question, in your opinion is ok to leave it this way? thanks

I wouldn't.... suppose one day you forget to retract the tabs???

If you can, I'd suggest you cut the rear of the bunks off so they just end at transom.
I did this and it has worked quite well. Even when I neglected to retract the tabs all the way.
