How does one adjust a trailer to a boat....are there templates from the factory? Eyeball it? Professional operation? Found one on craigslist that looks promising for my horizon 200. |

You want the easy way or the hard way? Easy way? Forklift. Adjust bunks, check, lift, adjust, lower, check, repeat. Hard way? Put boat in water, adjust bunks in/out, put boat on water, check, take notes, put boat in water, adjust, put boat back on, check, repeat. Make sure it's rated for length and weight. H200 probably requires a dual axle. Brakes are a good thing. A two bunk trailer would be okay for an H200 but 4 would be better. It's not rocket science to slide bunks in and out and front winch thingie back and forth to get correct tongue weight.. it's just a pain in the ass. I did it, took 4 tries to get it decent. |

Quote: During the day of frustration getting it out of the water on a bad ramp I heard a load creak and didnt think much of it, anyways after looking at the trailer I see that its buckled on both sides just forward of the wheels (pics tomorrow I hope) upon further inspection it was rusted from inside, many other spots in pretty rough shape as well so I don't think its worth repairing. Can you transfer over the measurements from your broken trailer? When we got our trailer I had the boat yard put the boat in slings and drove the new trailer under it. Once lowered to a couple inches above the trailer it's real easy to see how things will line up. http://www.boatinglakemichigan.com/2012/05/seapickle-launch-2012.html |

I have a '90 H200 and the trailer I have for mine is a single axle that came from Four Winns. |
