Moving a boat Sideways
wrote:
Yesterday, I had to move my 20' Tolman on her new trailer 2' sideways
while my tow vehicle was in the shop. No problem. I had a 10' 4x4
post on hand that I used as a lever and was able to little by little
move her sideways by prying against the trailer frame and floor.
On a fairly even surface, I can maneuver my combined boat/trailer weight
of 1800 lbs (19' Sandpiper sailboat) with my trailer dolly.
If I have one other person pushing while I pull, I can manage a bit of a
grade uphill. You do need a bit of wiggle room to forward & backward
three or four feet at a time.
note: I have a slightly superior version of sample shown here
(pneumatic tires)
