This past month, I had a problem loading at the ramp. There is a flat piece of 4" steel welded crossways near the front of the trailer. Its about four feet aft of the winch assembly. The bottom of the boat got scraped pretty badly on this bar. I've seen this bar on pics of other Mac 25 trailers and assume that it was part of the original build. There is no roller, and because it's flat, no way to put one on and be able to adjust the height. There are 2 holes drilled in the center of the plate and I am wondering if a carpet covered pad or nylon skid pad is supposed to be attached. The second problem is the motor lift. It looks like a generic version of the Garelick lift. When I tilt the motor to the up position, there's not enough room. The lift is also very difficult to operate. The motor is a 94 Merc 15hp. And suggestions will be appreciated.
