Default Removing boat from trailer for service


Might be a little more helpful if you describe
the lenght of the boat, approx weight, and
if the trailer is bunks or rollers.

But, basically, the general idea is:

Get some Jack stands.

Put them under key points of the boat.

Pull the trailer forward.

You probably will have to keep moving stands
around the crossmembers of the trailer so
you can pull forward more. Etc.

Stands can be expensive. If you can borrow some
that's helpful.


PS: There were a few threads on this subject not that long
ago. Go to Google. Hit Groups. Hit Search. Limit
by Data to, say, the past year or 1.5 years. Do a
few searches on different words.

Good luck.

Boat is 19.5 feet I/O fiberglass hull, weighs approx 2400 lbs. (2200 dry +
oil, 1/4 tank fuel, and accessories)

Trailer is a Shore Land'r with 4 quad swivel roller bunks (wobble rollers).

Tried the google search. Maybe I'm not using the correct terminology. Tried
"boat blocking", "boat stands", "removing boat from trailer" etc., and
variations on these words.

Do a search on "levitate" or "levitating" in the subject line. I posted the
same question within the past 6 months. I got some good responses. Didn't
try any of them, but still....
