Universal Front Boatloading System

Operation:

Starting with the loaded position on your vehicle, the boat is secured by 4 lines and is upside down with the bow forward. There are three rollers across the top of the vehicle, the front roller, pivot (rear) roller and power (middle) roller. The boat rests on the front and power roller. The power roller is driven by a Centre Drive Worm Gear Motor.

In the unloading operation, turning the power roller unties the boat. The power roller drives the boat rearward by friction between the roller and gunnels, until the boat balance point passes the roller. The bow will tilt up and the stern then drops gently by gravity, onto the rear pivot roller. As the Motor lines continue to unwind off the power roller, the boat will slide rearward and the bow will continue to rise. The stern of the boat is suspended by two rear suspension lines attached to the rear transom before it touches the ground.. Then the boat turns over, end for end, as the Motor lines continue to unwind. When the boat comes to rest, it is right side up. Disconnect the four rope clips and the boat is ready to be launched.

When loading operation is opposite, the Motor will wind up the lines, pulling the boat up and over, onto the top of the vehicle. As the boat reaches the forward position, it is automatically tied down and secured by two ropes at the bow and two ropes at the stern.
