Reply to: How to get the boat in/out of water single handedly?

[quote=Andinista]I prefer to keep the trailer dry and do all the operation with the beachwheels. I changed the rear cradles of the trailer with double rubber rollers, which made a lot easier to slide the boat in and out of the trailer. If the trailer isn’t attached to the car I put something under the wheels to block movement. To slide the boat out I push from the front beam and pull back from the rear beam in the last part. I adapted some zodiac wheels to the rear beam just for that, but before that I used the beachwheels. The only problem with beachwheels is the extra work of sliding them forward on the hulls to balance the boat after it’s out of the trailer. To put the boat back on the trailer I bring it as forward as I can with the wheels centered, then use the trailer winch to pull it forward, after relocating the beachwheels at the sterns (or installing the rear Zodiac wheels)<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Andinista on Oct 12, 2020 - 03:39 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
