I unloaded the boat at the ramp and inspected my trailer/bunks. I noticed the two rear bunks I could swivel back and forth. As in swivel they pivoted on the trailer that attached the bunks to the frame. Is this ok or should I tighten them up after loading the boat?

Sorry I don't remember them doing this last year and new to boating prior to this.

Interesting observation. I have noticed a central mount for the rear bunks instead of two bolt points I am used to seeing. It may very well be that these are designed to roll left and right...I have yet to inspect the trailer with the boat off of it. Need to do that!

I noticed that this weekend as well. On mine all 4 bunks pivot and assumed it was normal.

Thanks for the support. One less issue.

I just hope the single bolt support is sufficient for the weight!
