Really not happy that this happened. If a trailer wasn't 5k I would junk this Thing. True is not worthy of this boat
I've never liked the trailer. Prestige trailer it is. I would think that spare tire /ladder should be able to handle my 200lbs butt![]()
Wow....that's shameful bbp. Time for you to pick up a custom C channel Loadmaster like T ordered...or a Heritage...or maybe even an Eagle trailer!![]()

Yes that is a shame. That was my favorite trailer manufacturer under all those Go Fast Donzis. End of an era.

Re: Off season projects.
I have to find a current draw that kills my batteries in a couple weeks of idle time.
I'd like to install a GPS/Fish Finder in the dash area.
My trailer bearing buddies go "flat" on the rear axle, time to overhaul and replace seals there.
Boat occasionally stalls while idling either in gear or out of it...something to hunt down and fix.
A deep clean and cover after winterizing before storage.
We got to enjoy the boat last Tuesday, had gorgeous weather. But we know time is running out!

Re: Off season projects.
I had to look up IAC to know what you were talking about, but no. Seems a likely suspect!
A quick search on this site turned up some really good resources.
Thanks!
Mike.

Re: Off season projects.
Found my "parasitic" drain. Combination of ACR ground lead and Mercathode protection module. Went from 70ma to zero without those two circuits connected. ACR was 10 ma. Merc was 60 ma.
