| I did it on my key west flats boat. Kind of a funny story. After looking for the particular boat weeks and finally traveling over 500 miles to pick it up, I brought it back to my place in Orlando backed it into the garage and it didn't fit. I quickly called around to various boat dealers in my area and one guy had both models of the kit. One was a powder coated steel for fresh water, and the other was a galvanized version which is what I needed. Measure it like 10 times both open and closed to make sure you have it right. Too close the the winch arm and it will not fold away enough, to far up may not get you the inch you need. Use a square to mark your line all the way around. Depending on what you have to cut it with portable band saw, sawsall, metal jig saw, cutoff wheel, etc. If you are going to cut all the way through make sure you hit your marks on both sides and are not cutting at an angle or just cut one side at a time. On the model I used the cuts didn't have to be perfect, but it make it more difficult to drill the holes. I so wish I could do this to a tuffy trailer, I'm not sure why they have all the connection points so close to the tongue.
Good luck | |
