Bow of boat should be higher than the stern while on the blocks for drainage.

When done painting be sure to use the bow winch as you reverse the process to put the boat back on the trailer. Keep the winch cable tight as possible while backing the trailer under the boat.
Thanks Jim.

I will trade you help in jacking boat this weekend for help with thru hull transducer install
