    Last I heard Harvey had lead and was waiting to make up more weights until the weather improved because he makes them outside. Might want to give him a call Jeff

    phone number is 607 535 2390

    I sent harvey a msg a few weeks ago and never heard back. He may not be up and running just yet. As Les said, bikinibottom is making weights now. I really liked harveys torpedos though! Very little blow back.

    Best place to get a slip in rochester?

    Come west to sandy. You will spend less money in gas and slip fees. Less sailboats and rec boat traffic. Oh and less crime......

    Yeah, you are right, I should give sandy creek marina a call too.

    Kept a boat there about 20 yrs ago and it was ok. Lot of weeds though but wS quiet, protected from weather and fairly safe.

    Considering putting my boat in a slip for a month or maybe more at the genny.

    I live an hour a way so it would make it a lot easier for fishing!

    Where is the best place to keep your boat?

    I was thinking about security and if there is someone who might be able to check lines and bumpers if a real big storm hits as im an hour away.

    Trailer winch?

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    My boat wts. about 5000#. I have a Dutton Lainson(DL) winch mod. # SA 9000 & it pulls the boat on with no problem. The trailer is a roller/bunk combo. DL. also makes a SA 12000 model winch. You can also double the winch cable to the boat with a pulley on the boat & back to do winch anchor post which will increase the pulling power but cut the forward movement in half.

    On my power cable from the battery I installed a 12v outlet with spring loaded outdoor cover & mounted to the hitch frame,. From there to the winch I made up an extension cord in between. I carry the cord in the truck & plug it in & out as needed to load the boat. Just an idea.

    that's a nice looking wench. How was the clutch holding up on you. Mine was used with the bow when I got it but I noticed that the clutch didn't freewheel too well. It takes more time without a clutch to let the cable out but maybe that's a safer choice

    The fact that your boat weighs 5500 pounds means exactly that. No more no less.

    When you try to winch it onto your trailer specially one with rollers you probably do not need more that 3000 pounds pull,2500 is more like it.That is because all that weight is on rollers.(think ball bearings)

    You can probably find a good 3000 pound winch with optional hand crank for around $150.

    The golden rule is to always disconnect your cables when you are parked because there almost always is some draw of power, specially with a wet trailer.

    As for bunks, you can get them online for about for about $150 and they are easily installed.

    ha! You are like my wife..... always wanting to spend my money. :)

    A couple things come to mind immediately about the driving on the trailer suggestion. With a roller or part roller trailer trailer it is possible to do damage to the hull (make indentations in the bottom from pressure) and many launch ramps prohibit "power loading".

    Jeff - I was sort of joking regarding that winch....truly a lot of money...especially when instead you can develop Popeye arms with the manual type for less money :lol:
