We just bought a new toy (Windrider sailboat) and brought it home. As
hubby is disabled, I'm the one who has to do everything and I've found
trouble right off the bat. I can't seem to get the trailer wind-down
wheel lift to turn (it was a major hassle just getting it turned to
the ground). I'm assumming that it must be heavily rusted and have
been spraying it with WD40 and some spray grease. So far I haven't
managed to budge it. Then I decided to go ahead & take it off the
ball using a long pole to lift it....and....you guessed it....that is
also rusted and I can't get it to lift up. I might be devastated if
we hadn't got a good deal on a boat that hubby has been aching to have
for months!!! Can anybody give me any pointers or should I go
searching for a strong man!!! The trailer itself looks to be in
great shape but it has been sitting in the open for a while with no
care or maintenance.

Thanks! And while I'm asking...once I get it unstuck, what
maintenance should I be doing on the trailer. I do have a grease gun
for the buddy berrings.
