In this Drotto Bunk Trailer Install video we demonstrate how to install the Drotto boat latch on a bunk trailer. The Drotto boat latch is designed to replace the bow roller of your bunk trailer or roller trailer. There are many models and styles and variations of bow roller setups. Our Drotto boat latch is designed to replace your bow roller according to size. The 3″ model replaces your 3″ bow roller and the 3 3/4″ model is designed to replace a bow roller between 3 3/4″ and 4″ ( just add spacers or washers for larger rollers). The Drotto Bunk Trailer Install is simple in most cases. See below for further details on the Drotto Bunk Trailer Install process.

There are a number of different trailers. BUNK trailers and ROLLER trailers. The Drotto boat latch works on both styles of trailers. There are also a number of different bow rollers. The Drotto boat latch is designed to fit on the 3″, 3 3/4″ – 4″. refer to the “Drotto Boat Latch Sizes page” to learn how to measure your bow roller.

Step 2

Release the boat into the water. It is hard to move a boat on a bunk trailer, therefore we suggest simply launching the boat into the water.

Double Roller Bow Stop Install

Here is a good visual if you have a double roller bow stop. In this version, simply remove the top roller, install the latch in place of the top roller and adjust the winch arm to line up the bow eye with the latching system. Another option is to remove the double bow stop completely and install the latch directly to the winch post.

It’s that easy to install the Drotto boat latch. This entire install process can be done in just a few minutes. If you have any questions concerning a Drotto Bunk Trailer Install of the boat2trailer product please feel free to email info@boat2trailer.com or refer to our other installation videos.

This is a life changer! So happy we found this product. Makes launching and loading safe and simple for a single user, and quick and painless at a crowded ramp. My wife's family is from Summit, South Dakota, and we are happy to support a South Dakota business. Our 2021 Tracker Targa V-19 works perfectly with this device.

Works great, saves a lot of time and makes it safer to stow the boat. Speed and safety are very important to me, especially when fishing alone. Installation is a snap. This item should be on every boat.

I was initially a bit apprehensive about the bow fitting correctly. However, each boat with its own bow shape, I had to do some tweaking on the winch height and distance from bow ring. It took one or two trips to the water to know the adjustments. After that it worked like a charm. I also noticed that the depth of trailer in the water needs to be two inches less than earlier and I had force the boat up with motor, for the system to lock. Overall I am pretty happy with the product, after using for six trips to the water. Definitely improved my safety while loading.

My new Drotto worked OK but not as good as I thought it would. After digging into it I found the problem was my trailer, not the Drotto. After adding a trolling motor, 3 batteries, Humminbird, anchor, etc., the bow would dive a little after clearing the front trailer rollers. I moved the rollers forward to support the added weight and WOW what a difference! I'm 64 and unloading and loading is effortless with the Drotto. Fantastic product!!!
