Re: trailer out from under boat

you have to do it a couple times to clear the cross beams and axle. Either with a jack or by raising the tongue as high as it goes and blocking the bow.

I blocked and unblocked a couple times at two points near the bow.

Getting Boat Off Trailer

you don't need stands.

1/you can lower the tongue to the ground. i would get some 6x6 or old railroad crossties cut the +- 12 inches, now block up the transom. 2/

Raise the tongue of the trailer the back of trailer will drop away from trailer. this is the tricky part. between the cross braces of the trailer block the keel lower trailer, boat will be suspended on the blocks.

3/ pull forward, lift bow again, and reblock i a different place. repeat until trailer is out from under the boat.

4/ to reload, just reverse the procedure.

if you were just working on the bunks, or painting the bottom. you could just do the first 2 steps.


actually a 15 footer i would just push off in the grass. then winch back on.
