Welp, I thought it was a 5000 lb axle but I checked the spindle and bearings and it’s only 3500. Not gonna work. Thanks folks.
Time to re-assess. I have a dual axle bunk trailer but it will need some work. The boat was towed from about 90 miles away on the dual axle trailer when I bought it...
Hmmm…
I’ve got 20 rollers total (8 wobble and 2 keel rollers on each of two pivoting assemblies).
The Classic Aquasport site says the boat is 2200 lbs. Motor is about 520 lbs.
Comes out to 136 lbs per roller.
I know on bunk trailers the keel rollers don’t carry weight. This trailer has...
Thanks man. The stringer that runs fore an d aft is just outside the place where the splash well meets the transom. Sounds like I need to move the outer roller out as far as I can, then move the inner roller away from the keel and as close to the stringer as I can. I don’t think I can get it...

I am on vacation about 3 hours from my real tools. I took the battery out just to get it to my charger (extension cord won’t reach at our rental) and when I re-installed it sparked at the battery post as I was reconnecting the battery cables.
I had never seen that before and assumed I must...
This hose (item 37) on my 200 hp 90degree Johnson is cracked and leaking water. Can I just replace it with a fuel line? Vacuum line? Does it matter much what I use?
So the lower unit came of easy. Steering swivel too. But the exhaust housing seems to be stuck on there pretty good. I have removed all six of the long 3/8 bolts and six 1/4-20s. Smacked it a bunch of times with a plastic dead blow mallet. No luck. Any tips on getting it loose?
Heh... you got a good memory! I kinda got tired of messing around with it! This powerhead is newer and in better shape. I'll still try to get it running and re-sell it, or I'll put it on another hull.
