You said "What was wrong with yours that made you question it."
As I told Dick at Merritt Marine, my boat was hanging off the rear bunks about 2 1/2 feet! So, I moved the winch support forward. This made the tounge weight too much, I felt. So, I got the rectangular spacer you can see in the photo and put it between the winch and the trailer support. The hard part was finding two "U" bolts the proper lenght to re-attach to winch.
That trailer is 600# all by it's self. It's long too. It is nice that it has brakes. I noticed that some of the trailers under some of 190's didn't have brakes, that I could see, at Merritt.
I also had to fix the wiring, replaced the tail lights [corroded out] and added extra clearence lights. [more corroded lights] I went with sealed LED units. I also replaced the cable with a nylon winch strap. I was afraid that cable would snap one day from the way it looked.
Dick told me it was a wrong trailer for my boat.
If I buy another Triumph, I'll be visiting NC to do it. [No dealers in GA]
