Turbo, if the roller-replacement gets too HAIRY :o or COSTLY :P ...you can always chunk the rollers and go w/ bunks ... if ya do, I'd make 'em the big timber jobs instead of brackets and 2xs ... just a thought, don't know your ramps up there... :D ...

RAP, bunks aren't an option around here. There are a few good ramps, but at many you'd be hosed at low tide.

Nice Turbo . . . The Rollers are a PIA to fix, b/c the C clamps freeze up inside the top holes . . . the trick (when you get there) is to use a drill press. Come at it from the bottom hole and drill the rusty stub right out.

Couple of ideas, but I know where there is a set of used pivot arms w/ more rollers and everything ready to go, I think. You have time to drive toward Chinc in the next few days? Just past the first gas station there is a consignment place on the left. They have some trailer parts left side of building and there were pivot arms ready to bolt on to your trailer.

Second idea: Your trailer looks standard issue loadrite. The hog rings are rusted to heck. Probably have to block a portion of the boat so that you can remove one pivot arm at a time. Then you can disassemble and install new rollers. Shouldn't be that big of a job. I'd call it 3 beers and a quart of blood. Language bonus is optional ;D

AIR: I would probably float the boat to do this work. Thinking ahead so I can get the parts I need before starting.

Those hog rings are roll pins that I will have to drive out.

Next time I am over towards Chinco. I'll stop and take a look.


Thanks for your input. :)

Uhhhg, roll pins more of a pain than hog rings. Good luck.
