trailer mods

[mike]

There was a discussion some time ago about guides to lead your keel onto the trailer. Here's a photo of the trailer guides I've made.Note I've covered the bunks with rubber which allows the boat to slide easier.You'll also see the storage on the trailer of my mast stepping jin pole and lateral stabilizer bars.

help?

I was wondering if you have an owners manual that you would share with me in copy or scanned? I have a Hunter 23 Wing Keel that I recently bought and really am not sure how to rig it. My email address is CLD231@aol.com. Any information you might be able to share would be appreciated.Thanks, Curt

rubber strips?

Where did you come by the long rubber strips. This looks like a nice idea. I often need to slide my 260 a few inches forward on the trailer after dumping the water ballast out of the tank and pulling it up the rampBrigg.

rubber strips

Well........there is a Goodyear conveyor belt factory near where I live and I got it from their scrap heap. You might find it as rubber matting somewhere. I had to cut it on a table saw.
