[Rhodes22-list] New Rhodes owner questions.

[Kenwood _]

Your trailer is in a lot better shape than mine! Bearings are pretty easy
to replace they only come in so many standard sizes. Watch your weight
though! My trailer was a single axle, and I could not register it in my
state (NH) the rhodes 22 is overweight for a single axle, I'll be having a
second axle installed over the winter. See if your axle is 4000lb rated,
the boats shouldn't weigh more than 2,500lb or so but the reqs depend state
to state.

I dont have brackets square like the ones in your picture but i mount my
mast-raising device in that same spot, going long-ways across the trailer.
Perhaps your mast raising device sockets/did socket in there?

Those fittings behind your jib sheet winches look custom! I think i've seen
new boats though that have chairs or grills attached there, members with
newer boats post 1970 might have better ideas! Good luck on the water! And
whereabouts are you?
