trailer setup
wrote in message ... "JimH" wrote: The original poster indicated that it is OK to have the transom/stern unsupported up to 8 inches. Right now our bunks end at the transom. How much of the transom/ transom can be *safely* unsupported by the bunks for winter (long term) storage? I'm assuming your boat is an outboard, right? No. It is an I/O. I wouldn't leave even 8 inches unsupported. In fact, I'd go even further and say don't let the bunks stick out any further than necessary past the trailer frame. I'd move the axle forward. On the other hand, since you're only storing it, you might get away with blocking under the transom (or engine bracket) and cranking up on the tongue jack thus supporting much transom weight with the ground. That arrangement might be a pain in the butt if you used the boat often but if it just sits there all winter, what the hey. Please explain. Just a thought. Rick |
