I put my boat/trailer on axle stands the first time this winter. Do you guys do this in the summer as well when the boat won't be used for 3 weeks? 5 weeks? I just pulled my boat back in to the garage, and decided to put it back on the stands. This time I put the stands in a different spot, more towards the back of the boat (through the winter I actually had the axle jacked up). Just dropped the tongue down, put the stands in place towards the back of the trailer, and cranked the tongue back up (I believe Wayne had suggested this method last fall). Also noticed a lot of weight up at the tongue, so I built a tower of 2x4's and other scraps and rested the tongue on that (guess I need to buy another axle stand!)
