Hoosier Scissor lift trailer owners L@@K

[Kitchen363]

So after two minor malfuctions, I'm adding some bigger "Stops" to the trailer. Those small one inch high ones are not cutting it. After a hundred mile trip down the road the boat took a bounce and went over the stops Lucky for me the straps on the back did their job.

Also had problems where waves would push the boat too far foward while attaching the tie down straps durning loading

Look at my new "Stops" I used some 1 5/8" X 1 5/8" power strut (found at local electric supply shop or Home depot) and bolted them to the trailer with some U-bolts This boat will never come foward on me again.

Next mod is to hook a winch line up so I can crank the boat up to the stops
and pull up the ramp quickly.

Thinking of mounting more power strut under my existing hand crank for the trailer lift, and mount my hand crank out in front of it.

Anybody else done something like this
I need some ideas please

Looks like the newer trailers come with the hand winch as an option
I've got to have one.

Here's what I came up with for the hand winch.

Mounted another peice of power strut under the cable winch. This should work out sweet.

Loading on the ramp should be a breeze, even in rough water

Still going to use the big tie down straps on the front for hauling down the road for safety
