    US built boat trailers imported into Canada

    So a few weeks back we purchased a boat and tandem trailer that came originally from the US. I spoke to the licensing authorities, in our case SGI in Saskatchewan and was informed that any trailer built after 1 Jan 1985 and rated over 3000#, must have two brake axles.

Sorry for such a stupid question but this is my first "big"...

    Rollers

    New to the boating world but not trailers. My trailer has rollers and I'm wondering should the arms on which the rollers are mounted, be able to pivot left and right or should they remain static in the shape of the boats hull?

    Fuel tank placement

    So I just got done doing a total rebuild on a 1969 Cadorette. My stupid question of the day is..where do I put the 5 gal fuel tank in the boat? At the stern just below the motor or ahead towards the middle? I have a very long fuel line with bulb.
