I'm restoring the swim step on my 1992 FourWinns Horizon 200. I removed the wood from the swim step a couple of years ago and the pieces have been in the garage. Can someone tell me what type of wood this is ? What would you recommend for restoring it? Sanding + Teak oil? Something...

Where do I find brake parts for my Four Winns trailer? This is a 1991 trailer with surge brakes and drums, not electric. See pictures I expect to have to have the brake drum turned on a lathe and then replace the break shoes and maybe a lot of the hardware inside the drum. I have not removed...

Thanks for all the replies. In answer to all the questions: I have the OEM 7 pin round connector on my 4Runner. That goes to the 4 pin plug for the wires. The trailer has a removable coupler and came with a segment of the wire that is about 6 feet long and connects to the rest of the trailer...

This is the first one. Does anyone have the cover page? Who wrote it? Is it reliable? Here are 2 pages from the 2nd one. Does anyone have the cover page? Who wrote it? Is it reliable? Thank you.

I have a couple of electronic copies of shop manuals. Neither has a cover or first page that shows who wrote it. Can you identify them? Are they original OMC manuals? I can verify the year on one by the engine model numbers listed and it is from 1990. The file name for one did say 1986 - 1998...
