I have been loading my 20' Triton on trailer (solo) without issue since 2006. Boat sits perfect on trailer, I do not "power load". Now, for whatever reason, I cannot for the life of me get the boat on trailer the way it is supposed to sit/ride. I think I have read every suggestion on-line. Most common being not backing trailer too far in water. Any suggestions? Thanks.

50+ years of loading all of a sudden Had the exact same experience. Put all kinds of guides etc.trying to correct. Nothing really worked until I started experimenting with trailer depth. Gradually found the best depth but can’t seem to hit it every time
Load the best I can then hand winch pia

Rob mine is when the short bunks - which are the outer bunks i believe - go under water - cant imagine it would be much different on yours

I ran into a loading problem like yours a few years back. I did not power load just cranked it up tight to the roller and after pulling it out of the water the boat would be sitting high on one side of the trailer. Finally figured it out. The post that the roller and winch sit on is adjustable and it got loose and dropped down about three inches. This was causing the bow of the boat to be pulled down to much and lifting the rear just enough to cause the problem. Hope this helps.
