I was finally able to see your drawing, my tablet didn't show your pdf attachment.... nice job!!!. This will help me with the placement and height of the roller.
You drawing perfectly reflects whats happening to me every time I try to retreive my boat....
I finally decided after all the measuring, calculating, thinking ramp angles and all the other thoughts that came to mind to install it against the hull and more forward towards the bow.
My bow is sitting 10 inches from the bow stop in this photo and hoping i will have it against it on next retrieval. Going to test it Friday and see how things go. Can't wait to get rid of the 200 lb. sand box.

Good Luck Friday
I hope you don’t have the problems I foresee in the photo provided.
This roller should stop the hull from going forward and hitting your bow guard, the bow will now start to roll up this roller and raise the bow higher than your guard before moving a little forward, this is good.
The bow roller looks correct for location but, may not be if the boat must be moved further forward 10 inches. It may be to high or too low.
If you can get your hull all the way forward, the bow may sit higher than it does now on the bunks, that puts the roller maybe lower than it should be. If the bow does not sit higher on the bunks then the roller maybe too high and the weight of the hull will be sitting on it.
I can not see your front winch stand and bow guard, the cable looks like it is still going down towards the winch. Once your hull hits this bow roller and can not move forward the only way is up so all of the movement of the bow will be up, clear to it’s final resting place, pulling down at any point is not going to work. Jfrench’s explanation is a perfect description of what's going to happen when the rig is removed from the water.
If the bow guard is still below the winch you have additional problems, as I told you fellows about helping to remove 10 boats a couple weeks ago, two of those I saw the bow guard in the way when trying to bring the bow eye up to the winch.
Please give us a full report on your recovery.
thanks
