Try napa for the right size plug. the store here carries a wide variety of plugs for all kinds of equipment.

I went with the Anderson plugs, that nowgrn4 on page one mentioned, with all my12 volt electric hoists, winches, and tongue jacks on my trailers. These plugs never even warm up. I have these on my tractor, at my receiver hitches, front and rear, at the batteries themselves, my van has one in...

I decided to go with the sky winch over the normal strap one. I have a safety didn't get a shot of that yet.

the rollers and the ramp material I used for a walk way. I also put the cross piece in thinking to use on bunks.

screwed that post up lol. The old and the new.

well finally got to put some time in on the trailer, It has changed a little from when I started.

Johnson model 4W69B and 4WF69B are the two that I have made in Waukegan,Ill. hope this helps.

This is the set up on my 6hp for the cables and it is wired I believe for a kill switch, I don't know what will hook up to these fitting yet? I plan on putting this on my sport canoe where I can be up front in the rivers. good luck on your build.

Thanks for the quick run down, not to argue but I have two knobs one for hi speed adjustment and a low speed one on the front panel? I, me, couldn't notice any changes turning the adjustment knobs,may not of left it sit at a setting long enough for a change to take place? I don't have a manual...

I got the 4hp suitcase Johnson from 69 running ran good and smooth after sitting all them years. first baby size outboard. I have two 4hp from 69 one straight leg the other a suit case, I'd like to run the straight and haul the suitcase for a spare and I need weight up front anyway so I can...

I got me an idea. It's all heavy wall stuff and I got to put motors someplace safer then on a transom, laying in the camper or boat bottom while transporting them, but is trailers the place for it, ahh I'll weld a hitch on it, and that will tie it to trailers .don't want stuff where it don't...

I am going to up load some pictures while it warms up some outside. This is all in the rough stages it can all be fixed by a weldor with some power tools, paint will cover it all up.

Well it finally warmed up enough I was able to get the back gates opened and the boat out of the back. The sky winch works if you have a strain on it, with no weight or pressure the line will slip, hold the bitter end tight so it can get a bite on the line and it will pull till the line...

I have changed a lot of these set ups to over springs, I didn't see any mention of the bolt that holds the springs together you may have to flip the bolt over to fit in the recess that is used for centering I used small c clamps to hold mine together the undo the bolt flip it around tighten it...

I would use shims and spacers to level trolling motor and leave that bow plate alone, to keep its strength in its shape, light weight, and holds that bow together. that's my 2 cents worth
