[Rhodes22-list] Botttom cleaning a trailered boat

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

I assume you are asking this question as you don't have (or don't want the
expense) a local yard that lift your boat.

All you need to do is raise the boat a little off the trailer so you can
clean and anti-foul. I have tried this with success:

1. Lower the front of the trailer on its nose wheel as low as you can go.
2. Place a substantial block (or 2) with padding under the stern,
Adjustable yacht stands are best,
3. Raise the nose wheel off the ground. This should lift the stern off the
trailer pads.
4. I use a "Cherry Picker" engine lift jack and connect it to the eye-bolt
on the bows and then lift the front on the boat up enough to suspend it and
get in and do the job.

I take no responsibility if this contraption fails while you're under the
boat so be careful

Cheers
