[QUOTE="great white, post: 306835, member: 6238"] Got tired of the trailer winch being bunched up and the bow roller/stop being positioned wrongly. So i redid the bow stop bracket: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/16BCF3F4-B20D-4673-AF87-BDCBE727E334-3732-00000409C02082AD_zps9730c613.jpg[/img] You can see how short it was here and how it would have made the strap too short to effectively hold and winch the bow: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/20E24410-FD67-48FD-B282-19964339C689-3732-00000409B8ACE53D_zps05ef0e0c.jpg[/img] I also welded one of the spring pads on the axle and bolted up the proper u bolts instead of the temporary ones i had to use last year. The other side gets done tomorrow. Soon, i'll pull the boat off the trailer, replace some rusty bolts and paint the whole thing black. I'd like to build the fender steps i had planned this year, but i don't think I'll get that far before the season starts.... [/QUOTE]
