    Replacing Keel rollers

    I was thinking similar which brought me to ask the question since the entire middle column is slightly lower.

    Replacing Keel rollers

    This may be a dumb question but I need to ask. I test fit on board over top of the swivel brackets to only see the middle swivel is not touching the board only the 2 on the ends. See image. I thought just need to adjust the height on the one. But then I test fit on the other 3 with a different...

    Replacing Keel rollers

    Got the 2 starboard side boards and swivels removed. Started wire brushing the removal area and now ready for some paint. I measured the boards angle before removing @ 20 degrees my hull is @ 18 degrees. The swivel was so rusted that I did not need a wrench on the other end to remove. I will set...

    Replacing Keel rollers

    @rxl650 @dingbat Yeah I realized that on Saturday that I need to cut the bunks off. I did not want to remove them from the middle until I got all the ubolts on the center bunks. That was my plan but it sucked. I measured the angle of the center boards. I will just remove the swivel brackets and...

    Replacing Keel rollers

    Started removing the ubolts at the center 2 bunks. Would have been easier if the bunk boards were removed. I wanted to do the boards after I got the ubolts in place though. I could only get small turns with my torque wrench so as it was hitting the bunk boards.

    Replacing Keel rollers

    So the old plates I got a real good look at them even though I already ordered the new ones. The old plates are still good just surface rust. Everything is here to replace the rollers except the Ubolts. I will post some images later today.

    Waverider Adjustable Absorption

    @dingbat I did not reinforce I will keep an eye on it and probably do an update as I did not fully complete the installation. I had to drill a new 4" access hatch to reach the bolts. I did not place a hatch back in yet so when I bring her back up the way I will do some updates.

    Waverider Adjustable Absorption

    Anyone have any experience with these pedestals? I dont like the plastic on the base but wondering if they work. I replaced my pedestal for the helm with a taller one (these) to see over the dashboard and it has improved my ride considerably. Also just replace my cushions in my chair and it...

    Replacing Keel rollers

    @dingbat I have not started the bunk unbolts yet. FOr those Ubolts I will order from EastM the originals to hold the weight of the boat. Plus the bunk Ubolts do not need the bracket. I did order the 12 swivel brackets though.

    Replacing Keel rollers

    I actually purchase these to see if they will fit. If not I will send them back. I have the 3 keel roller brackets off. I actually sent back those keel roller w/mounting bracket I purchase (3 $61) and just bought the roller and end caps and a threaded rod. I will clean up and reuse the old one.

    Replacing Keel rollers

    @Chris1956 I went with these ubolts for the keel roller brackets. I have not received them yet so I dont know the quality. But they look good in the image. Most of the ones on Amazon are cheap shinny 304 SS. I did purchase some with the bracket but when I weighed the unbolt and compared to the...

    Replacing Keel rollers

    So I am having a hell of a time finding ubolts brackets. I called etrailer and they showed me these. I told the rep. not what I am looking for as I told them it was for 12 roller and bracket and they came up with these. I showed them the part I am installing and told them it was for a 3" frame...

    Replacing Keel rollers

    After shopping on Amazon for those U-bolts and ordering a set to see the quality, I decided to send them suckers back. I do not see them lasting a third long as the original hardware. I went back to easterns marine for the original ubolts. Have to say damn on the cost difference and dont even...

    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    The guy quote me 4000 for the rag top and 5000 for the hardtop. I was like dang. I am tempted to buy one of those Dolphin universals tops for WA boats. I saw some reviews on THT some were good and some were just ok but mostly was the top for center console they said became a little loose. The WA...

    Replacing Keel rollers

    @Chris1956 I am replacing the ubolts all of them. The Ubolts, should they be 304 stainless, hot dipped galvanized? I am seeing some other materials also. The paint is hard to come by in the pint size but I found some on amazon for 68. Like you said mostly spray can in the store. I know that...

    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    You got me thinking looking at what you did to the exterior and after I got a quote for a rag/hard top build for my boat at $4000-$5000 to remove my windows and make a hard dodger. I went out in October and had overheat alarm sound. Scared the hell out of me. I limp back to the dock. Smartcraft...
