trailer repair

Welcome Rick. If you go to the technical section and the post on technical documents there is a link to John Crawford marine . Search and you will find the instructions for launching your boat onto the grass and freeing up the trailer.

I have not done this myself but others have. As an alternative you might want to consider hiring or borrowing a mooring for a few days and just leaving the boat in the water. Could be a lot less hassle.

Good luck . Tell us how you go..

Cheers

Another possibility are blocks and tackle and a strong roof. Alternatively, you may have a vehicle hoist you could use. Both methods need good web straps.
