Re: Trailer Walk-board mod...
 

I just uploaded pics of my walking boards. I could not make up my mind which side I would normally walk on so I put them on both.

Here are some pictures of my next project. Do I hear any volunteers. I got a fridge in the garage with cold beer in it.

Turb, nice looking walk boards!! I will be doing mine also!

------------------------------------------------------------------
A grinder will make short work of them bolts!!

Thats a easy job!! Just cut all!!

Put boat on Jack Stands, remove tires, grind 4 U bolts, and 4 bolts on springs.

Remove all, replace all with new, put tires back on and you good to go!!

Heck while the tires are off remove the hubs and inspect, replace or clean and regrease.

Can never go wrong with cleaning and repacking berrins!!

I got a 4.5"angle grinder with cut off wheels that works great. I already have the new springs, bolts, bushings and square bent bolts for the springs and other roller assembly holders. $250 for all that but I dont want to have to go through this again.

AIR here in virginia we can get permanent plates for $50 and no inspection. What kind of trim tabs do you have and how do you like them.

Re: Trailer Walk-board mod...
 

Tabs are bennett M-120's and they are simply great. *We lived in VA and yep, permanent trailer tags but, personal property on and vehicles and boats is a killer.

Turbo, got a place you can leave the boat in the water for the day. *Dump her overboard then work on the trailer...makes it sooo much easier.

yeah, when the off season gets here I'll take it down to the creek at high tide and tie it up at my cousins dock. I can leave it there a couple of days if needed. The creek here is in bad shape and I can only put over during high tide.

It's just easier if you can dunk her.

The side-grinder'll get 'em, nodoubt, but my buddy brought his Porta-Band when he helped me change out my U-Bolts...if ya can get one of those, they're the bee's knees... 8) ...

Re: Trailer Walk-board mod...
 

I have acess to a porta band but I think it would be harder to get into tight places.

What the heck is "bee's knees". Is that some kind of yankee term I'm not formilar with?

Re: Trailer Walk-board mod...
 

Thats not Yankee, thats south of the Mason Dixon, where they think bees have knees, and toes and tell their kids bedtime stories ;D
