It almost looks like it would be easier to remove that and the rear bench and make a subframe that you can attach both pieces to and make a front cushion. This way you can maintain a better seat back angle for both seats, assuming that there is enough room. Possibly hinge the back end and use...
Repainting the trailer for the 1998 Sylvan 17’ Blue Fish we bought last fall. Cleaning up the hubs and see a second grease zerk behind the plate with the bolts in it. Both hubs are like this. It would be about impossible to get to with the tire on. Trailer is a Yacht Club. Can’t say I ever saw...
That roller looks like a bumper to keep the boat from hitting the trailer frame, assuming the PO boat set on it like yours. If your bow set on the roller, your boat would be setting with 3 points of contact instead of lying flat on the bunk boards.
Don’t disagree with any of this, but the engineer in me got me thinking if venting could cause a problem if there was a leak. If the active leak caused the vapor concentration to be outside the explosive range, you won’t go boom. From the internet:
The combustion concentration range for...
I put a 6” wire brush on a 4” angle grinder. It’ll take the paint off no problem. But wear leather gloves as it works well in knuckles too. It also works the grinder so I don’t overdo it. I also have a larger angle grinder with an 8” wire brush, but that’s a bit overkill for what you are doing...
People have put a receiver on the front of vehicle for easier trailer parking. This would keep the rear tires at the top of the ramp. But sounds like your problem is short term.
I’ve used the True Mods 3/4” lights. Very inexpensive and bright. When I get around to repainting the boat trailer I will convert to them. Made this below the tailgate driving/3rd brake light with them.
Just bought some Pettit EZ top side one part eurathane. Painted the side bunk supports first (trailer and boat the same color) to see how it goes on as this is the first time messing with a boat. It went on very smooth and glossy and I’m impressed with how hard it cured. Note the bunks were off...
