Is it necessary to have the bunks flush with the end of the boat or can the bunks stop 5-6 inches from the end? Reason I ask is because I just bought a brand new trailer and the bunks were not designed to go all the way to the end. Is this a design flaw? Should I replace bunks with longer ones...
So I had a spun hub 1 year ago and got it fixed for $39. Went out on the water yesterday and my hub spun 3-4 times. Not sure what is going on? Is it normal to have to fix a spun hub once a year, should I just get used to this? But I would like to know the root cause. I am not hitting...

I put my forward battery over on the starboard side...wondering if that was a bad move because of the weight? To help offset it, i am putting my anchor on the port side, only 15 lbs but better than nothing.
What do you guys think? Worse case scenerio, I can always move it, which wouldn't be...
