A15EF9E7-0B92-4511-8E61-F03DAE25112A.jpegPicked up a lift this year, any suggestions? I need to move the boards in. Does any know the distance/ space for the boards for a 2018 242 S? I traded in my 2011 AR240 this year, and I haven’t picked up our new boat and trailer yet. Just looking for the spacing... Thank you !🇺🇸

I set mine up according to the trailer widths. Did a few slight adjustments on the rear spacing. I believe I narrowed the rear opening based on measurement on the flat area. Papa

I tweaked mine the first couple seasons as I started with the trailer measurements first. It felt sloppy catching the bunks so I moved them in some the next year and finally have them set equally front to back at approx 28 inches where the outer edge of the bunks makes contact with the boat. At this width it grabs the bow early and slides right on thru. Very helpful solo'ing or when windy. When I would vacation in the Keys and kayak up/down the canals I noticed boats smaller and larger than mine all had the bunks narrowly and evenly spaced. I imagine you can get away with the narrower spacing as you're not travelling down the highway at 75 MPH with the boat on a bouncing trailer.
