Well, Pulled the winch stand assembly apart today. The winch base plate and the metal straps that hold it to the tongue were bent. It appears from the bolts being cranked really tight. Along with the torque from winching the boat onto the trailer, the base plate decided to break. Visited my...

Hi fellow boaters, I was pulling my R25 out of the water the other day and as I was cranking the winch I heard a "snap". Come to find out the base of the winch stand broke. I have a 2012 VPT-26-40EC trailer, out of warranty. Has anyone experienced this before? I find this issue to be very very...

Hey there all you Captains.. Thank you for all your input. I'll need to do homework on some of your questions, but great information. There are no "No Wake "signs that I noticed, but of course there is "polite people" out there. The lake runs North/South, the docks are on the true west side of...

Well, I realize this string of posts is a few months old but I guess I'll join in the mix for the fun of it anyhow... Wife and I are new to pontooning. Right now we trailer our 2012 RCW2575 Benny around on a Venture tandem axle trailer to various Finger Lakes in NYS. Love it! Had to do some...

Thank you for the help, cwag911. Unfortunately there is no new messages in my Inbox which made me think the reply may have went somewhere else. Or the reply may not have been posted or sent.. I think the more I use the site the better I'll get..lol

Second that... I have a strap going from the "U" bolt where the winch strap and safety chain hooks to, straight down to the trailer frame. Huge difference that the bow doesn't bounce while traveling..

Now I just need to find the separate message! lol... Navigating this forum is a challenge...
