Dingle not happy today.
Trailering the boat, I guess my wife was backed in a little deeper than normal. I didn't think much about it, other than I found it nice to not have to crank hard on the winch. But...didn't realize that it was over to the starboard side about an inch more than usual. And because of the slightly deeper trailer, that put the edge of the hull on top of the plywood inside edge of the fender. So when we pulled out, it pushed the plywood down, ripping the bolts through it and bending the fender at the bolts. No hull damage, but my trailer looks a little jacked up

Here is how it is supposed to look. That carpeted inside face of the fender was what the hull was sitting on. Normally it is such a tight fit that winching it on positions it perfectly. Now I know why I should always winch it up, instead of sinking the trailer deeper and floating it on.
Tough to see the damage in the low light, but this is the bent fender. And I need to cut some new plywood and carpet it. Plus, the bolt holes in the fender are a little wonky now. Grrr...I hate making stupid mistakes.
