I had to fabricate my winch post to keep from hitting bow when launching. If I didn't have elec over hyd brakes, I could move post further forward.

Myco didn't make provisions for that??!?! Did you buy a trailer that wasn't originally manufactured for that boat?

My Eagle does the same thing. The handle could hit the bottom side of the beak on step ramps. Good thing for the 2 speed winch that allows you to free wheel the handle back down, then reengage.

In the end i went to the trailer place and simply bought a shorter handle.......problem solved!!
