Letting the dealer figure it out is best, but just in case you don't want to hassle with it... I've lifted (and other guys at the shop) COUNTLESS boats using the bow eye and stern eyes. The keel (in this case the bow keel) is extremely strong. This boat is nowhere near the size where slings...

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are saying... it sounds like you are saying that the sun beating down on the boat causes black stains to appear. That doesn't make sense. Unless, maybe it's causing moisture in the transom to escape as it heats up... which may answer your question right...

Manufacturers of equipment say that to CYA to ensure clean power. If an owner hooks it up to a bus bar and the equipment isn't working, in many cases, said owner will first accuse the equip manufacturer of supplying a faulty piece. When, in reality, the issue is that the owner hasn't...

I like the idea of solar maintainers. Free power is good! Question... is the cigarette lighter wired direct to the battery? Meaning, when you leave the boat and turn the battery switches off, if the lighter plug turns off, as well, then there's no charging going on. What things have you...

In a way, the fact that the water is coming in that fast is a good thing. I don't want to guess where - partly because I'm not sure what you are talking about regarding the "clamped one" thing and the silver vent... also, the garboard drain plug is the lowest thing so, again, not understanding...

Just something to be aware of - for those of you that were suggesting to add a "bumper" to the pulpit... If the anchor is already contacting the pulpit, which it is in Robert's case, adding something else there could put more stress onto the pulpit and cause more issues. I think Robert's idea...

If it's Sunbrella canvas, it's OK to use a diluted solution of bleach. Take it to a laundromat with an extra large front loading washer - or put it in yours if you have one. 303 makes a fabric cleaner, as well. To re-retreat it with protectant, make sure ALL of the soap is out of it. Any...

We all like pictures :) Here's another winch stand from a second Shoreland'r trailer. In other words, there are plenty of other options out there.

Ah, I gotcha... I mean, I "see"... :) Yeah, the only thing I could make out was part of the winch and the strap. FYI... I added another winch stand pic from a different boat on our lot to that other thread... both are ShoreLand'r trailers. If you have a Shoreland'r dealer near you, they can...

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Are you referring to something I wrote? Because I never used that term. Or, are you asking a follow up question? If it's the latter, read through my post a couple more times and/or do as suggested above where you just go and physically look at the...

There's really no "default" position - just like there's no default position for the drive trim. It's simply a matter of where you want them to be, based on conditions, load and speed. Don't think of the buttons, themselves, as "up" or "down" positions. Think of the buttons as your bow. The...

I've been a proponent of plastic slides for about 15 years, now. Love 'em! Never seen that brand before - but the basic idea is all the same from one to another. The only thing I would caution you on is that because they screw in from the top, as opposed to the sides like some others, you'll...

As much I hate to say it, I think that might be your best bet. As it sounds like you're probably not going to get very far with your current dealer. I'll throw this in here as another example - this is a Shoreland'r trailer underneath a Sea Ray on our lot. Not saying anything bad about LR -...

I wonder how many guys reading that have absolutely no clue what we're talking about... or that we're using some type of old "code"...

Three.

And the follow up question... OK, Mr. Dealer... how does a strap, pulling down at that angle, allow me to pull the boat FORWARD easily? Math/science/physics... apparently this is the Bermuda triangle where none of that exists. And especially... far enough to get the bow eye under bow roller...

Been there... luckily with a smaller engine. Sucks with any size engine, but certainly more involved as things get bigger. Last summer, my son, barely 15 years old, and I pulled an old, 13' skiff out of the woods where it had been sitting on our property in Maine for a couple decades. It was...

Yes, you should be able to do the "stop" procedure to slide the boat forward on the bunks. I've done it many, many times with boats three times the weight of yours. Those u-bolts were never tight enough. Yes, given the thinner steel that the stand "base plate" is made out of, there should...

Steele Rubber is another possibility. I read they'll even make something to match - not sure about cost, though.

Your line of thinking is backwards. As was mentioned, this is a GOOD sign of a better built cushion.
