Watercraft Trailer Maintenance

The VIN number on a Rolco 3 axle boat trailer is typically located on the front of the trailer frame, often near the coupler or hitch area. It may also be found on the left side of the trailer, either stamped into the frame or on a manufacturer’s label. Always check the owner's manual for specific details regarding your model.

The weight of a 29-foot 1999 Fleetwood Mallard travel trailer typically ranges from 4,500 to 5,500 pounds, depending on the specific model and features. It's important to check the trailer's VIN plate or owner's manual for the exact specifications, as weight can vary based on options and modifications. Always consider the weight when planning for towing.

The weight of a 22-foot pontoon trailer typically ranges from 1,200 to 2,500 pounds, depending on the trailer's construction, materials, and design features. Factors such as the type of axle, additional equipment, and the specific model can also influence the weight. It's best to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the exact weight of a particular trailer.

The weight of an 18-foot Shorelander tandem boat trailer typically ranges from about 1,200 to 1,800 pounds, depending on the specific model and features. This weight can vary based on additional components such as brakes, tires, and construction materials. For precise information, it's best to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the specific trailer model you are interested in.

A 22-foot double axle boat trailer typically weighs between 1,500 to 2,500 pounds, depending on its construction and materials. Factors such as the trailer's design, features, and any additional equipment can influence its weight. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the most accurate information.

I used an SKF 30205J2/Q bearing and CR 692369 seal. Russ

Support the car, jack up on the rear end enough to take the pressure off of it. Take the bolts out of the spring at each end and the long U bolts holding the springs to the axle.

There is a bolt in the center of the springs between where the U bolts were that holds the separate springs together.

lube the whell bearings once a year is usually all that is needed

Depends which weight of a boat trailer you mean. It also depends on the length of the boat trailer.

For example: A relatively small (6.40x2.09 m) Respo double-axle boat trailer weighs roughly 400 kg (880lbs). The bigger ones (more than 8 meters in length) can weigh around 900 kg (2000 lbs).

It depends on boat size, motors, and equiptment. It will cost alot less if you keep it covered and dry when not in use. As far as any out board motor goes, when you come in unhook the fuel line. Then start the motor and let it run it's self dry. This prevents "gunk" build up.
Regestration, tags, insurance, and launch permits might be around $200.00 per season. State regs. differ though.
Don't forget gas prices!lol Honestly you could spend $200-$2000 a yr.
Depends on how serious you are.

Is it a bolt on or weld on. Was it made for that trailer or a universal with the weight of trailer and boat in mind? Is it a folder or a fixed tube? If it is a bolt on, replace all mention of welding with tightening the bolts. Also please remember it is in the instructions about the 'degree of tilt' you should have. 1) Connect the trailer to the tow vehicle and park on a smooth flat concrete workspace.

2) (If this is a folding unit you can skip this step.) Fully retract the wheel. Locate the approximate placement of the wheel on the trailer, hold in place with vise grips, C clamps or by slight tightening of the bolts. Measure from the bottom of the wheel to the pavement and ensure you are 12" from the pavement (your state laws may vary on this requirement, no less than 12" is recommended).

3) (If this is NOT a folding unit you can skip this step.) If this is a folding unit ensure that the unit will fold into storage position without interfering with the boat, trailer, trailer wiring, or tow vehicle. Also ensure that the crank for operating the wheel will not interfere with the same.

4a*) Extend the wheel to ensure it has enough travel to touch the ground plus 6"; if not and it is 12 inches from the ground the extension of the wheel is not long enough for this application (6" is required to lift the boat from the hitch receiver, depending on weight and suspension of the tow vehicle).

4b*) Place a jack stand under the hitch near the tow vehicle, lift the trailer using a jack set back from the hitch and wheel, ensure that the receiver clears the tow ball; extend the wheel and make sure there is travel room left to lift it higher than this point.

5) Tighten the U clamps / weld the plate / drill and bolt; the wheel in to place at this point. * Note: for proper storage of the boat, the wheel should be able to lift the boat past the horizontal line needed for water to flow from the boats drain plug; see boat manual about this measurement and adjust step 4a or 4b as necessary. WARNING. At no time should you use the new wheel jockey by attaching it to the lift tube of an old wheel jockey failure of the lift tube will result. All warnings about driving, weights and such are included by common sense.

What is the weight and dimentions of a 26 ft. Boat

Winches and levers are both machines that contribute mechanical advantage.

They work by increasing the moment applied by a force by increasing the distance away that the force is applied.

A moment, is calculated by the magnitude of the force times the distance away it is applied.

Imagine a lever like a seesaw. The closer you sit to the center, the point of rotation, the easier it is for someone else to hold you up. The further out you side, the harder it is for them to hold you up. Further out, the "moment arm" is longer, so you are applying a greater moment.

Winches have their moment center in the middle of the winding mechanism. Instead of winding it by holding the thin central rod, you have an arm sticking out that allows you to create a larger moment. Imagine having a dial where the knob has broken off. Instead of being easy to turn, it becomes very hard.

some have a grease sert on the hub, other wise remove the hub cover, and nut that holds bearings in place, and hand repack,

You can get a boat trailer registration from the DMV for your state.

On hub dust cap there is a rubber gramet and behind gramet is a zirc fitting for grease gun.

Measure from the point the trailer connects to the truck to the center of trailer axle ( if a tandem axle trailer measure to the center point between axles) multiply by 2 and this will have you close to turning radius.
