A quick solution with the Wedge Kit
[a] Replace the Winch Post or Platform (from Australian source)
Example … here is an Easytow Boat Trailer options...made for Boat Latch.
How to change the Latch angle…. if it is not right[1] Use the L & R ‘Wedge Kit’ which allows you to alter the angle in either direction by 140 See the Brochure “The ‘Wedge’ option” on website - under “Installation - detail version”[2] OR change the winch post or winch platform
Use a replacement from your local trailer supplier for one that has a more suitable angle.
