I have had good luck with Exide golf cart batteries. I have four of them, but sometimes two of them are in the 5th wheel, as they are right now. I need to move them back to the boat to restore balance, I have a list now. Mine are connected to a Heart Interface 2KW inverter/100amp...

Yes, I have not been on here in quite a while. I had to go back and look up old email to find my username and password! Yes, it is odd that the problem only shows one way, but it may be intermittent as you say, or maybe the short between the wires is corroded and somehow acting like a diode...

Looks good Todd. I have a few scratches on mine I need to fix. Thanks for the incentive, I need to get working on it!

I just looked at my 96 270. It has a cotter pin holding the swivel pin in.

If you have torsion suspension, then it is important that the trailer frame is level with the pavement, when attached to your tow rig in a normal towing configuration. That way you get equal weight on all three axles, thus equal tire loading. You will want to verify that the trailer brakes work...

Yes. The first boat tire this year was a replacement from Les Schwaub tires, and the newest tire on the trailer. It was on the rear axle, and had ALL the tread scrubbed off from turning. It was about 4 years old, had less than 2000 miles on it. A triple axle trailer is very hard on tires...

Yes, my triple axle trailer is torsion. So if you are planning to buy one of these, you should look under there and see how you would jack up a single axle to change a blown tire. I think you will find the manual says not to place a jack under the arm that the spindle goes in to. I think it...

It is fairly common here to see semi trailers with three axles, and probably half of them have a fourth axle that can be raised, and is only put down when needed to comply with the state load per axle requirements and their trailer weight at the time.

I just lost the middle tire on a triple axle, and it was a non-event. There was no change in vehicle handling. The tire just blew up, it was about 5 years old and could not take the hot road. However, I have come to the conclusion that with my triple axle trailer, I need two spares on a long...

John, good to hear you got them replaced and working. I remember looking at the rubber grommet that surrounds the bulb and wondering if it were anything special to withstand the heat of the bulb when on. I may have replaced one or more, you could do the same, and maybe get a tighter fit with a...

A couple of years ago I posted about a problem I was having with my surge brakes. You may find the post to be of some value. http://clubsearay.com/forum/showthread.php?t=887

You may wish to find out where the slop in the steering system is coming from. It is my experience that it may occur in three places: 1. In the helm unit, where you turn the wheel but the steering cable does not move. It is a rack and pinion system there. It is possible, but not probable...

I think the dingy does come with a carrying bag of some sort. The Martin comes with a very nice case. I had never seen a Martin case before, was surprised by the quality. There is this place in Portland called Pioneer Music ....

Was at my brothers house in Bremerton, visiting him and his wife. I mentioned I was in the market for a dingy and maybe small engine for the upcoming San Juan trip. My brothers wife, Dr. Kay, and I are fiddling around with guitars, she had just gotten a new Martin 000-15S. She lets me know I...

Sounds like fun, but my boat is not ready for the water, and the passes have not been real friendly lately. But keep the suggestions coming. I might bite on one. I would like to know how to get into Puget Sound without submerging the trailer in salt water. A new marina is being built in...

If I am gone for overnight or more, normally I carry my desktop along. It is mostly for checking out the trip photos and the like, I don't have connectivity on the boat. It is a bit clunky to haul around, but I really don't like laptops. I want a real keyboard, monitor, and my trackball...

My house runs strictly Linux. I am running kubuntu on the two desktops I have. I gave up the insanity of separate firewalls, Norton, and who knows what else years ago. No way I would go back to Windows. I do have a firewall by default in the router. I have been away from home for the last...

I am in the southern group.

The gimbal bearing is not related to steering as Frank states. There are two items that are, though. Between the gimbal ring and the gimbal housing, on the upper swivel pin is a metal bushing. On the lower swivel pin is a nylon bearing. I suspect these are what MLauman was referring to. If...
