Howdy folks, first time poster, long time lurker. Recently bought a 12' Northwood boat with a 3.5hp suzuki motor and a decent trailer.
Didn't get any pictures when I first got it as I tend to forget all about the camera when I am excited. Boat has no leaks, motor ran nice, and trailer was in fine shape other than needing new lights. Sold the motor and bought this 69 evinrude 6hp to put on the boat. Didn't like having an obscure outboard with no parts availability.
Put new lights on the trailer and welded on some guides after fighting the current on the chippewa river the first few outings. The guides also make backing this tiny trailer down the ramp a lot easier.
I also added the eyes you see in the above picture for attaching the strap to the trailer.
The rusty bow eye for the winch I replaced with this stainless eye. You can see how I mounted it in the second picture.
Ignore the sharpy registration numbers, those will be replaced with less tacky ones soon.
