I guess you've got ime to paint now. >:( :-[

I am going to save that for last!! I am goping to get started with all the little crap I have to do first. Then if there is time then i moght do it??
But I have been thinking of stripping all the paint off and then leave it white or paint with regular paint?? Depends on what the bottom looks like after I strip it?

Happy New Trailer. I have a Question for the group. I spent most of Sat. afternoon trying to replace rollers on my Load Rite. The clips are almost impossible to grab with water pump pliers. The recess on the roller wont allow the pliers to open wide enough to get a good grip. I have to replace several clips. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Capt K

Capt K - I don't envy your task . . . having been through this last year. *Those hog rings have a nasty tendency to rust up and snap off inside the aluminum support arms. * *

First - put your boat in the water. *It's much easier to work on the trailer when there's no boat there. *So . . . send someone out fishing in the boat or rent a mooring/slip for the day.

Second - Grab the hog ring with locking pliers and twist. *

One of two things will happen
it'll snap off inside the top hole or it'll come off.

If it snaps off then you'll need to remove the aluminum arm, find a drill press/cutting oil and drill from the bottom hole until the rusty end of the hog ring pops out. *This procedure takes about 15 seconds with a drill press and 15 minutes with a power drill. *

Good Luck!!! ;)

I think when I get mine this weekend I am going to take them all off and put anti sieze on them before I put in the water!
I have had real good luck with the Anti seize on all kinds of stuff around the boat!! Better do it now before I start using it!

Thanks for the comeback Bigshrimpin, I have a slip in Greenwich Cove and I plan to be in by the weekend. Then I will tackle the trailer. I do trail to the Great Island ramp when I fish the Block, so I will get on it right away. Thanks for the info. This is a great group. Capt K

SOB!!! I called today to see that my new trailer was ready for Sat pick up and the guy did not call me back!! >:(I called him 5 times before he called to say , Yea I have your trailer a 4 BUNK!! I said No FU$K Way!! I ordered a roller trailer!!
Not at that price! He says. I say why the hell would I say I wanted a bunk trailer when we were walking all over looking at 3 different Brand trailers and I never saw a bunk and was asking if the trailer I was getting had the yellow rollers??
He said that they pay $2100 for the trailer and that they are not going to make a dime on this!! I said not my problem! I ordered a roller trailer and I want a roller trailer!!
He said I will call you back and was gone. He called back about 1/2 hour later to say that they were sending the bunk trailer and getting me a roller trailer for the same deal. But had no idea when!! I said I have a guy buying my old trailer and that he is coming Sat, as he was going to come last Mon and they didn't have the trailer then eaither and that I ordered the dam thing March 22 and that it is now May 7 and I still have no trailer!
I want it now!! He said hey we all make mistakes!! I said well fix it!!
I asked to speak with hs boss or the owner or who ever! He said he would have to call back?? Here we go again!! He called 45 min later to say the new trailer will be there Fri and I can get on sat!!
I said isd this writen in stone or just a brush off! He said I was welcome to take my deposit back and go some where else!! Well this pissed me off!!!!!!!!!!! I said I have a old trailer and if I have to not sell it thats ok by me but they were going to give me a roller trailer if it takes a year!! And I was willing to go to court!!
He dsaid it will be ready Sat morning and me to call him tomorrow to confrim!

All I got to say is that it better be there!!
I feel better now that I have vented!! Thanks for listing to a raving nut!!
