tdrown Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks guys for all the advice. It's all installed now. I did consider installing it myself but buying and shipping the equipment would be just as expensive as it was. U-HAUL comes with a lifetime warrenty that protects against damage, theft, corrosion, et cetera. As for a frontward hitch, I do have an emergancy tow hook on the front of my car. I suppose if I were really desperate I could attach a chain to that to pull out the boat and trailer. remember to unplug the lights (every time) before dunking your trailer and then reattach them before driving off. The lights on the trailer that I have are actually imersable and I haven't needed to do this at all. The only problem I've had is when one broke after my old man knocked a chunk of ice off the tarp that was covering the boat on to it, shattering the plastic light fixture.

umop_apisdn Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 You could set up a bracket on your front bumper with a few hundred pounds of counterweights on it, like those tractor-backhoes have. Noel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
