I need to re paint bottom of MacGregor 26. Any suggestions on how to lift the boat off of trailer while sanding and painting? Also need to replace the cable attached to center board. Any suggestions on how to get to the connection?
Lower the tongue all the way down near the ground. That will raise the stern. Then block the stern. Then raise the tongue high and block the front. I don't like to use the tongue jack to raise high, due to the strain on it, so use a floor jack on the trailer. Once the boat is blocked it should now be above the trailer.It is a 26x. Thanks for the reply. How did you raise the back end that high?
My boat is held up in the rear with cinder block when its sitting in the side yard to take the load off the tires. Its like this for nearly 7 months of the year.I can't emphasize enough the need for safe blocking (no cinder blocks please)
