C-22 trailer bunks

Measurments from my 1988 Shoreline trailer with my 1980 C22. Keel bunk: poly carpet covered 2x8x11' 3 support points, no fine adjustments Side bunks: " " " 2x6x11' 36" center line to center line 18" CL - CL from keel bunk Rear to front side bunk supports 111" Rear to center support 57". This will vary depending on trailer frame design. The 2x6 and 2x8 extend beyond rear and front support points approx 11". My C22 stern is 48" aft of rear support point. Hull to keel bunk space at front of keel is 14 1/2" " " " rear of keel is 15". These could be off a few 1/8" but is adjusted by the side bunks. Center side bunk support height is 16 1/2" above keel bunk height. Front and rear supports are approx 1 1/2" higher than the center supports. The loading keel guides are 1 1/2" schedule 40 PVC pipe. Heat it to bend to your desired curve to help center the boat when loading. Mine curve out to 24" apart and should be close enough to keep the keel over the keel bunk. These measurments should be close enough to start. Final adjustments can be made when the boat is in place.

Here's more

Another set of different measurements which may be worse or better: http://www.c22region10.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=150 On my trailer there is one 12" centering type roller for the keel that is situated underneath it when the boat is loaded fully. The keel is lowered onto this while trailering to take parto of the weight off the hull and to relax the keel cable. This is the suggested procedure in the manual.
