    Big problem? Little problem?

    Re: Big problem? Little problem? Ok The one on the left is probably 4-6 months of accumulation.But we are docking this year. And I assume that oil out of any amount means water in. The pick on the right is the holes I'm talking about and believe it could be weep holes. I can take apart and...

    shore lander

    My boat included a shore lander trailer. It has a short tongue attached to the trailer with bolts. It has surge brakes also. Looks like you take out bolts and make shorter for storage or maybe bolt a swing away bracket on it. By any chance anybody know what im talking about?
