Just to follow up on this. Here is what I ended up doing.
The bracket that holds the winch on it. That is held to the main lower frame by three C-bolts. I was able to loosen those up and move the bracket about an inch toward the tongue. When it cranks up now, the upper lift arm advances...
No, if I crank it all the way up so that it is hitting the winch frame, then I'm way out of alignment (too forward). I have to back it off (crank it down) just a bit to get to the point you see in the first picture in my original post above. So then I am horizontally aligned, but not vertically...
So are the pivot arms supposed to be straight up and down? Because you're right, they are not straight up and down, there is an angle to them. And they are bolted onto the rack so I will try to loosen them a bit and take some slack out of the cable and try to jack it up. May not be for a few...
So I cranked it all the way down, and pulled all the cable out and then respooled it by cranking it back up all the while making sure it spooled on correctly row by row. Got to the top and same thing, still not aligned. Checked all the pivot arms and so forth and nothing seems to be amiss.
No dice. Just went out and played around with it again. Lowered it all the way down, checked to see if anything was blocking it. When I lowered it and there was slack it still would not budge by hand. Cranked it back up and it aligned to the same spot, still can't get the pin through it. I will...
Tried raising it by hand and it won't move. Tried sticking the pin in where I could and prying it up, it will move a bit. But I'm thinking once the pontoon is sitting on it, then it ain't moving at all.
Hello, new to forum.
I have a newer Trophy 24-45 double axle pontoon scissor trailer. I just bought it along with a pontoon last fall. The pontoon was sitting on it all winter and finally got it into the water a few weeks ago. After dropping the boat in the water and in order to store the...
