Gday All
Was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to launch a 4mtr tinny on land as I would like to check and clean the trailer as there is some surface rust on the axle. The trailer has no rollers so I carnt seem to budge it at all. Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers Jase :thumbsup:

Re: Any ideas how to launch a 4 mtr tinny on land.
Few ways to go about it.
First way is do you have access to a garage that has the old style metal beams for the roof. If yes you can use a block and tackle to gently lift the boat off the trailer and rest on some old tyres or hay bails.
Second option is the raise front of trailer and push it off again onto some old tyres or hay slowly pulling the trailer out as the boat comes off.
The second way is harder and needs at least 2 people but both can be done easily at home.

I took my streaker 545 off the trailer using a engine hoist to take the weight of the stern and putting the winch strap around the axle reattach to the bow so now the strap is pulling the boat off the trailer, slowly moved the boat till the keel touched the ground ( tyres) slowly moving the trailer fwd it gets easier the more of the boat came off the trailer. We then used wood to prop the boat upright on its keel.
