I thought it looked familiar. I take my boat there for servicing at least once a year. I bought a new trailer from them a few months back. Mine, like yours, had some serious electrolysis on the crossmembers. Kind of a shame as the tongue, axles, lights and guide rails were all pretty new. But the new one rides a lot better. I'm sure Dale did you right, hope you like your new one as much as I do. CongratsHit-n-Miss wrote:. Yep. Dale sold it to me. Took the time to send me measurements.

. For at ramp?Salty Gator wrote:Ps I bought a little portable shower/ wash box from academy for $80. It doesn't have a pump, just a bladder hat fills w the hose. I think it holds about 2-3 gallons. It flows well for a few minutes and then trickles for a few minutes. It goes long enough to give the trailer a good rinse.
Exactly, for a quick rinse of the hubs, torsion bars ,crossmembers ( shouldn't be as big of an issue w the new aluminum brackets) and whatever else I have water pressure for ( called "rinse kit")Hit-n-Miss wrote:.
