    Trouble launch and loading boat

    Trailer sounds like chain is dragging but nott

    I jacked my trailer up and spun the wheels in both directions. They both spun freely and had no play in them. Plenty of grease in each dust cover. I’m thinking noise is not bearings.

    Trailer sounds like chain is dragging but nott

    I have a fairly new to me trailer and it is making an odd noise at lower speeds. Like it is dragging a chain, but no chain is being dragged. Suggestions on what to check? Trailer is 2009 shore land r. Basic “T” style I’m sure this is not the proper term.

    Can I use a jack plate for short shaft motor on tall transom

    The search for a 25 HP long shaft motor has not been very fruitful, so I wanted to inquire about a secondary possibility. I have read where folks have used a jack plate to raise up long shaft motors to put them on short shaft transoms, but I can't find anything about using a jack plate on a...
