I could back in deeper, maybe a little but no adjustment is necessary as it loads perfect every time. As far as wear, not much friction on these bunks but you can see slight rub marks but does not seem to remove material. I suspect that 100 launches per year for 5 years I would probably recoat the graphite/epoxy at some point anyway, time will tell. Honestly, I am more worried about beach landings causing wear on the epoxy.
The anchor buddy bungee pulls the boat perfectly into position, its the first time I tried it and leaving just enough bunks exposed for the boat to find center on its own and a little help at the aft of the boat was the easiest retrieval I have done on any boat.
BTW, per Brian's advice I give the bunks a light spray with silicone before retrieving.
My aluminum boat has a roller trailer and when I winched it on with trailer too deep the boat was never centered so I started not putting the trailer in not so deep and like magic it was always centered. Thats the reason I do it that way now.
