vinnimon Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 I purchased this new to me junker last night and brought her home. I tinkered around for a bit, but is was late. So this morning I woke up at 4 am as usuall. With only one thing in mind, GITIRDONE. Temp plates, insurance run, parts run etc, etc. I swapped the hitch from the old to the new one, what a pita that was. A quick wiring job for the trailer lights and voila, finally I can rest now for a tad. There is more work ahead of me but shes in tow mode for the next 2 days ps, my youngest made a little something for my hard work

limeyangler Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Good you have something to get yer boat to the lake!
vinnimon Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 I think Terrys luck went my way today I did manage to launch the boat and trolled for a while, with no luck. So heres what happened after putting the boat on the trailer. I go to pull away and my front calipar seizes up Ok I will drive slowly home. After 5 minutes of driving I feel a tug I looked back and I see the trailer wheel smoking I did nurse it home only to find out that I have a coolant leak now. Good thing I have a decent parts car and plenty of new parts to add today. 37 deg celsius and 6 wheels to pull. I feel your pain Terry
