Tylercraft, O'Day T-26, 25 Lake Michigan
Over the weekend I had a trailer driven for 6 hours from lower Michigan to Wisconsin. I'd finally found a matching trailer for my O'Day 25 so it had to be this trailer and not another one. But, when it arrived - the back right stand/pad and its long "screw" was missing. They think it must have unscrewed and went missing somewhere along the way. Here it is photographed before it was delivered. I am here to ask - are these parts mostly standard? The original pad was able to flip forward and backward and I can't tell if the models sold by https://boatstands.com/product/adjustable-trailer-pad-2360cm-tlc/ are similar enough. I was super disappointed to see it missing when they pulled up but now I just want to focus on getting a proper replacement

Good to know, I'd try and match it myself but I had to take off for La Crosse from Janesville shortly after the deal. I am in La Crosse currently. Usually in Madison year round, the trailer is in Janesville. I'd say I'm nearby. I'll see if I can get some shots of the lower half of the unit and how it screws in

You've also learned one of the tenets of trailering: absolutely everything must be tied down tight.

Oh man, if only the hauling company had learned that lesson as early as I did

The screw just sits inside the tube. To adjust them them turn the wing nut, the Weight of the boat is carried on the wing nut.

It will look more or less like the one in the photo. Note, this is not the correct way to use the screw pads.

Long story short. Major windstorm, questionable blocking, the boat danced, the jack stand slipped, the boat fell over. It landed on the jack stand top. The repair yard had a difficult time pulling it out. All repaired, insurance covered it.
