Hi all! I wanted to install a keel guard on my '07 20V that sits on an Extreme trailer but im running into a problem. The trailer has a hull support right in the way of the area where the guard needs to go. Any ideas on getting around this? Is there a safe way to possibly lift the front of the boat? Thanks

I would be very careful though. You tilt the boat too far and the whole trailer will fall back.
What you can do is lower the tongue down as low as you can, on the ground if you can, maybe add some weight, or tie it down, then somehow jack up the bow enough to get it off that bunk.Last edited by zad0030; 05-26-2009, 07:42 PM.Common Sense is not so Common

You can lift the bow from the bow eye.
But Zad has this correct. Be careful

I wasnt sure if that would support the weight of the front of the boat.Comment

Well not the entire boat... But it should be ok lifting up a couple inches.Originally posted by penalber4 View PostCommon Sense is not so Common

you should have no problem lifting the front of the boat a little bit with the bow eye, as stated above, be mindful of the trailer position"I feel sorry for people that don't drink, when they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're gonna feel all day" - Frank SinatraComment

could'nt you just back the trailer down the boat ramp, then back the boat halfway off the trailer, insall the guard, winch it back up.Comment

or, hook the trailer to your truck so the whole thing doesn't go anywhere while lifting it up by the bow eye.Comment

A tow vehicle just might be heavy enough to anchor the tongue!
Rent an engine hoist, it will lift the bow high enough to do what you need.Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And MoreComment
