Hi Everyone, Thanks for the input so far. I think I can put the ground issue to bed. This light set is portable (magnetic) and designed to be easily removed. The ground wire is a direct connect from the tow vehicle and runs to both lights. I know that it works because if I disconnect the ground (whi...

Here's the deal. I am at my Mother-in-law's house (Easter weekend) 400 miles from my M. So I brought a project with me for sanity sake. I keep a cheap (Harbor Freight) set of removeable trailer lights in my truck as back up for when (not if) I encounter trailer light issues. When plugged in each of ...

Hi Sharon, Congratulations on the new boat. Driving around I-285 with a 26ft boat on the back for the first time with crazy Atlanta drivers changing lanes at 70-80 mph is not a fun experience. Do you have the CDI furling system? I thought I read that Roger had started making his own furling system. ...

Chris, Great looking trailer. Please post a picture from the front that shows the boat on the trailer with the spare tire mounted. With regards to the increased height of the boat on the trailer, what is the distance in inches from the ground to the top of your bottom paint? Roger makes a big deal o...

Fxwg80hd, When do you expect to pick up your trailer? Those of us that are also planning on a replacement would love to have pictures of your Mac on the new trailer and details of the steps necessary to adjust the bunks, winch location and anything else you have to do for set up. Please keep us post...

Sharon,
I sent you an email. Look forward to meeting you this Saturday.

Hi Captsharon, I have a Blue 2005 M at Wind Creek State Park. Slip D-19. I bought my boat from Mark Lusink at Boating Atlanta. I plan to be at the boat this Saturday sometime after noon. Send me a PM if you are intersted in meeting or if you want to discuss by telephone. Depending on your needs and ...

Macgeek299,
Where are you located? Maybe we can get a better price if we buy in bulk. At least it's worth a shot. Set up should be the same for both boats.

Uncle Jim Westco is on my list. I have a friend in Charlotte that has a Westco trailer for his go fast (second childhood) boat. He says Westco is fantastic to deal with. Being the tightwad that I am, I am hoping that we are in a buyers market. I will not know though until I try to negotiate. Thanks ...

paj637,
Where did you buy your replacement trailer. I am in the market for a similar trailer. I would appreciate any information you care to share about dealer service and price. Feel free to send PM if you prefer. Thanks

Trailers must be the topic of the week! Anyhow, here is a picture of my aftermarket steel trailer (karavan). as you can see my boat also extends past the end of the trailer. From my perspective it seems pretty common to have the boat extend 18 to 24 inches past the end of the trailer. Kasmith21, Th...

I have decided to replace my 5yr old rusted steel Mac trailer with a tandem aluminum trailer with at least a 5,000 lb load capacity. I have read every post in this forum from those of you that have replaced your trailers. I can not find any posts that address the design of the Mac trailer overall le...

Without trying to mother hen you guys to death... the pictures shown above show patently BAD practice using concrete blocks. As Russ points out, the blocks need to be properly loaded. In a wall, the blocks are aligned so that the compressive force is evenly spread out on the entire edge of the bloc...

Big T How do you handle the condensation this unit produces? The collection pan on mine is too small to handle all the humidity drawn from the air during the night. I had to rig a hose to a bucket. Also I still am unclear about your method of venting the heat exhaust. Do you have a picture of the ex...

Victor,
Sounds like a fun trip. Will you also be testing the auto pilot?
