    Measuring it was 8" overhang. I moved it up 7". Well see how it works out after al, the rain coming... I'll try and get those bunks replaced. Retired furniture maker so I have pneumatic upholstery staplers.

    Boat and trailer length

    Thanks for the comment. The truck shock exteriors have become rusty. The Nissan D21 doesn't weigh a lot and isn't noticeable othere than the small drop in the back. Even pulling the boat is easy, but getting the small boat and now looking it's time to put a few dollars in the truck. Originally I...

    No problem with braking. I dont think i stated there was a problem with brakes.I just don't like to leave the truck until I know I can trust it on a hill. I may start getting it close to the launch curb and cutting the wheels. So far so good. I took auto mechanics in high achool and did a lot...

    Right now standing behind the boat shoving it off the trailer is a higher risk until I have confidence in the braking.. There have been some things mentioned to look at,but thanks for the concern...

    I've already had the boat put on the lake(another post). I do not have the motor on the boat. This year the rebuild of boat and next year the motor. The lakes I fish are small enough many guys just bring trolling motored boats in p stead of large bass boats. I didnt need the manual in the...

    I do not have a manual yet and I'm in no hurry to get this going but a couple questions. #1... does this run on straight fuel or does it need to be mixed. #2... which gear oil?

    #1... I haven't unloaded the boat by myself yet because it's a manual and I'm learning to trust the brakes in the ramp. #2..... if I pull it around to the dock I would need a 30'-40' rope. Otherwise it could drift into the rocks...

    Everything is step 1-2-3. Right now shocks are bad. I know this I will replace first. I've had the truck almost 20 years, I'm on nissan forums and know how the truck stance should be. If new shocks do nothing , then you go to step 2. I'm 56 and have had my share of old camaros, 442's and...

    This is the reason I was trying to find out if the boat is maxed for the trailer or can it goes back some. Next time I'm going to look how far for myself to see when it starts to rise. My boy is 200 lbs and 6'4 and if he's in the back it's that much further back...
