Water coming out of carb

that might not be a good idea

Just got a call that my boat trailer is ready after having been almost completely rebuilt. I plan to tow the trailer to a storage yard on MCRD where I will store the boat and trailer after I take it out of the water in the Fall. The MCRD facility is near the Harbor Island Marina where my boat is. And MCRD has a launch ramp. I think everything is there, water, power, etc. So I could drive down and work on it there, even paint the bottom after cleaning the marine growth off.

NOW, how do I move the boat on the trailer enough to get to the places the bunkers and rollers normally touch? That boat is HEAVY especially with the outboard motor on it-- any sort of jerry-rig support might be pretty dangerous to work underneath.

AND, what is the best way to remove marine growth? I have a power washer...

I will make a point of asking the guys who SCUBA underwater in the Marina to clean the boat bottoms of the sailboats-- which are too big to trailer.
