boat on the roller until the boat is balanced across the roller. Mark the balance point on the side of the boat

Measure from the balance point to the transom, (Y) dimension.
Measure from the balance point to the bow, (X) dimension.
Front eye nut position
The distance between the rear pivot roller and the front roller =X + 50mm, the position of the front eye
nut from the transom “B” must be equal to X + 50mm. Distance “A” (eye bolt to the balance point) if
“A” is less than 450mm, make the position 450mm (Y + 450mm).
Mark the distance “C” 120mm from the gunnels to the front eyebolt. Drill the intersect of “B” and “C”,
