Harvey,
You are already courting disaster with your light trailer tongue weight.
Don't move anything further aft on the trailer. All the experts say you
should have at least 10% of the trailer/boat weight on the hitch ball to
keep the boat and trailer from fishtailing in an emergency stop or during
gusty side winds. Figure out a way to get the boat forward to the V-stop on
the trailer, even if it means backing the car further into the water to
float the boat to where it needs to be. Another quick fix that sometimes
works: Tension the winch line as tightly as possible and make a few quick
stops in the parking lot. The boat will usually slide forward a few more
inches. The bow of the boat should rest snugly in the V-stop for highway
travel.
