WE BOUGHT A 2007 HORIZON 240, THE TRAILER HAS A DOUBLE ROLLER ON FRONT SUPPORT. OUR OLD TRAILER HAD A SINGLE ROLLER. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO LOAD BOAT, WE ARE HAVING A HECK OF A TIME GETTING THE TIE HOOK BETWEEN ROLLERS. WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE IT TO A SINGLE IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE. |

No need to yell. (ALL CAPS) I suspect the double roller is fine, you just may have to re-position it higher or lower to avoid the eye being in the way when loading. Or you can change to a single, but a double is much more secure when trailering. |

![]() Original double roller setup (short arm type) on 2000 Horizon 240. (ignore the alum piece sitting there) I HATED the double roller setup that came on my H240 trailer. On most ramps, the bow eye would catch under the lower roller, and had to be forced over by cranking it up with the winch. Here is what I changed it to: ![]() ![]() I replaced the toggle arms with fixed plates that I fabricated. Bolted on to have only one roller at the same position as the original top roller. Much happier now. I drive right on, and can power up until the bow eye hits the roller, then attach the winch strap and tighten. Since that picture, I replaced that wimpy strap with a 10,000# rated strap. There are other people that have double rollers with long toggle arms. These seem to work better than the short one. But I don't see any need for two rollers. |
