Good evening folks
I a new arima owner and love the rig. Honestly, I cannot say how cool it has been to get out on the water on my own boat. When I bought the boat, it came on an ez loader trailer with rubber rollers.
The rollers located closest to the trailer wheels are riding on the strakes. Im wondering if I should center the rollers on the bow, there by putting the strakes between my set of rollers or if the bot is designed to have the rollers be closer to the keel.
I tried calling arima for clarification but nobody called me back. May be  really green question to ask.

Thanks!

What rig do you have ?

I would want the rollers on a flat surface of the hull.

On my Sea Sprinter roller trailer, the rollers strattled the strakes.

A photo would help understanding what you are talking about. And what did you end up getting?

I ended up getting a 17 sea chaser and I love the rig. I'm hoping to go do some jigging tomorrow. Rick here gave me some great advice prior to me heading down.  Really made me feel comfortable with the purchase.

For some reason the other picture where the roller is in the strake won't load... dang

I saw that photo Rick sent it to me, move the roller assembly out a few inches and try it.
