Launching boat off the beach is the secret to success! 

2different metals is galvanic corrosion. Electrolysis happens when current present.

Fully sic mate cant wait for a walk around vid of the boat ! Wouldnt mind a trailer like that up north where the tides are big and boat ramps are rare Thanks heaps !

Dude! That is an awesome trailer. Love your ideas to launch. Love the front wheel. Kudos dude! Fish on.

Love the retrieval system. The countless beach ramps in NSW it would be invaluable. Looking forward to the next video.

Nice construct and the design for beach launching is nice and simple! I may have to do this with my trailer so we can hit Flinders...

I like ye boat, like ye trailer. That front wheel is ingenious! Mine is just like it, but stationary. Oh me, now I've got some modifying to do on my aluminum trailer! Mine looks very much like that but no rollers. I have an 18.5' SeaRay fiberglass boat, 125 HP Mercury. I'll save this video page as a reference on some things for mine! I'm in USA, and only use in fresh water so far. My trailer is also bolted, but some of the bolts are rusting just a bit. I change them all to stainless and use that stuff between bolts and aluminum. Nice rig you have there!!

can't w8 for the next episode cheers

Great trailer! Nice details, a lot of thought went into this. I'm really thinking about adding that wheel on to my trailer.

See water, rear light-break lite perfect cumbination

Very nice Winga very nice

Lovely 😍😍

Nice boat guys! Looks real easy but I know Flinders well and more often than not, even on a calm day, it's not uncommon for 4 foot breakers to hit that beach. It won't be that easy to launch or retrieve. I nearly lost my boat there and have seen many mishaps over 30 years.

Very nice!!

Basically an ad for the trailer!

That rolling spare wheel that can be reversed to used to roll the trailer is a sick idea

Cold weather launch would pose a few issues Im thinking.

Genius

Nice trailer. I tried a beach launch this morning, but no go. My trailer was completely submerged and my tailpipe was under water, but the boat wasn't floating. I've had the boat 20 plus years with no problem launching at a regular ramp. Maybe I can lower the bunkers which are 2 1/2 inches above the fender guards. Any other tips?

Nice one winga

The wheel is a good idea, but instead of a square tube, how about a round tube with a pin that you just pull out and it swivels itself into position without having to undo and redo that bolt twice to put it down and then back up again? You’d probably find it a lot quicker to back the trailer to a little bit out of the water and then hook the boat to winch n just winch it across the sand and then up onto the trailer. Bit of effort with a hand winch but swap the hand winch for an electric would be heaps easier. Lovely boat though 👍🏻

Ahh the Duralack myth lives on it seems. To have electrolysis (& galvanic corrosion) electrons must flow in an electrolyte. Electrons flowing in an electrolyte is the very definition of a wet cell battery. Wet cell battery definition is 2 dissimilar metals separated by an inert spacer, immersed in an electrolyte. The least noble metal (the one with the lowest valence) gives up its electrons to the more noble metal. On your trailer, you have aluminium, stainless steel bolts and galvanised steel, black steel axle & springs & wheel studs & nuts. So 4 dissimilar metals (the zinc in the galvanising being the lowest valence metal in this case, the first one to give up its electrons to the other metals. So as far as your trailer becoming a wet cell battery - you have all the elements necessary;- 1. dissimilar metals. (aluminium, steel, stainless & zinc - take your pick of any two). 2. Inert spacer (Duralack). 3 Electrolyte (Seawater) Congratulations, you created a wet cell battery the moment you back it into the ocean. Electrons will flow and the least noble metal (zinc) will get eaten away. Just like the sacrificial anodes on your Mercury outboard (often called “zincs” but in the case of Mercury outboards a brand specific alloy called “mercatel”, designed to be even less noble than zinc). So in order for any sacrificial anode to work, ie be the least noble metal in the circuit, the metals all have to be “equipotentially bonded”. Placing Duralack between the surfaces as an inert spacer just creates the wet cell battery that provides the current flow to cause corrosion. If you had zinc anodes on your trailer & no Duralack - then the bolts would equipotentially bond all the dissimilar metals and the zinc anodes on your trailer could work & get eaten away to prevent the galvanising being the least noble metal and becoming the sacrificial anode by default. Duralack is the biggest con ever invented. Maybe it has insulation properties that are handy in the aviation sector but has no business in marine applications at all. My 2c You have a lovely boat & trailer & motor, your only weak link in the whole package is the Duralack.

The v’s. We called the “centre lines” If boat went up on centre line it would slide back down onto keel roller !

Is that a 100hp tiller steer motor? Didn't even know these were made

Nice trailer looks incredible. Particularly like the fact you can retrieve your boat without your car coming into contact with water. Would it be possible to launch your trailer loaded with the boat using man power or too heavy?

Гениально!

Hey mate if you don't mind asking what was the total of boat and trailer?

Doesn't the engine cut out mean that water will come into the stern alot easier, I was thinking of buying a 4.88 m but it had a cutout like that one and I'm not sure about it now.

100hp tiller steer!!!!

2:13 watch the toes m8

Adora lancha

Nice

Duralac might help but your still going to get dissimilar metal corrosion.

Have you still got the Bar Crusher?

Đẹp

Dunbier has the same beach launch wheel that you dont even need a spanner to use.

Good vid where's the Barcrusher mate.

🔑🔑🔑

Does this mean you don’t need a 4wd to beach launch at flinders?

Now tell us how much!!

why dont boat trailers have expandable neck??so the tow truck wont have to get saltwater on them

Dosnt the jockey wheel get full of salt?

nice wish i was rich

I've been wondering about flinders can i launch a 5.2 meter half cab fibre glass boat from there anyone have any info?

Nice"shell".....What's next..??...I'd build a nice lite custom living space,for night fishing,table,BBQ,banks,with 2X250 hp,this need to be taken FAR-OUT......All LED lights,inside out,a wind prop and a solar panel,on top............

🤔👌

King fish and barrels 6k’s from western port entrance ??

Video needs the name changed to secrets of launching your boat in a pond!

Can your trailer get stuck in the sand

should be able to roll on the keel rollers

บางสิ่งพูดดีก็ไม่รุ้พอผู้ชายพูดไม่ดีก็ไม่รุ้จักพอผู้ชายเช่นกันอละจะพูดทำสัตอะไร

That is a sxc motor

Йфф

MUD?

this was nothing but a trailer advert

Stop showing that and show the fricking boat more
