Re: Becalmed, Mayhem, and a Maintenance Warning
Thanks for comments etc. I replaced the port side U-bolt yesterday. I appeared to be on ok shape for a 30+ yr piece but who knows if hairline cracks were there. Actually all u-bolts now changed as also changed the bow haul in point a few weeks back as it also showed signs of corrosion. Replaced most...

Re: Facebook group

Jacking up an I563 off the trailer
