Default Trailer Bunker Height Question?

Taking my boat to the water tomorrow and taking the trailer to get it welded. It needs a frame support brace fixed. Question? How high do you place the bunkers up to support the boat. Mine have come down and boat now sits on trailer fenders. Do to broken support.

    Hi Douglas,

    Our Z240 sits about 1 1/4 inches above the fenders and the hull sits about the same above the cross members from the transom to about 2/3 forward.

    Had welding done on trailer supports and it made a difference in how the boat fit. Boat is an inch above fenders.
