    Boat Loading Problem

    I pull a 4400# boat onto a trailer with my 3000# winch. a 10,000# winch on a 2000# boat means you are doing something wrong. I do not power load (because it wrecks the ramps) I agree with the others that you are not deep enough. I myself simply back the trailer in so the fenders are 1" above...

    looks like a parting line in the casting. however with water pooled in the bottom of the manifolds, I would file the surfaces flat, install new gaskets and run it for a run. if you still have moisture, get new manifolds.
