[Rhodes22-list] Lift switch pictures.

Mon Sep 17 12:46:29 EDT 2012

I do not have a wireless remote. The red coiled lanyard thingy is my  kill 
switch for the Tohatsu. I usually leave it tied up around one of the  
railings. That way I know where it always is. When I kept the boat at a marina I  
would always put it inside, but now on my own dock I'm not so careful.

Rummy--Looks good. All I've got is a remote, which (a) I worry  about 
dropping overboard or losing (b) is easy to activate accidentally. Do  you also 
have/use a remote? What's the red self-coiling lanyard thing clipt  around 
the stanchion?

Attached are two photo's of my switch installation. It is a  spring loaded  
up/down switch. Arrow pointing up raises the motor.  You get the idea.

RumRunner: Thanks for the feedback. I thought someone else may  have  
installed a trip switch for the lift. I am looking forward to  seeing a  
picture. Your reasoning on the single axle trailer included  some things I  
had not considered and that will help add to what I  need to know to make  
my 
dual axle work as well as it can.   Thanks again.

Bob  Keller: Thanks for the input. It was rough  roads (due to road type 
and 

construction) over mountain passes and  foothills that caused movement of  
the 
boat backward and forward  on the trailer. I drove at least 5 MPH below  
the 
posted limit and  never over 65. I kept it as smooth as possible and as  
slow 
as  practical in rough conditions. On two occasions, I left items on  the  
bumper and found them still there even after nearly 200 miles in one   
case. 
I 
have to cross some pretty serious mountain passes where ever I  go  around 
my 
part of the country. Movement on the trailer is  something I have  to learn 
to 
deal with.

Dennis McNeely: I  have two items in mind.  One is a medium sized bow 
support 
bunk  of some kind and some sort of tie  down to keep the boat from moving  
forward. The winch strap is enough to  keep it from moving backward  but, 
only 
if it is pulled tight enough  against the bow stop  initially that it does 
not 
release some its tension  while being  towed. This was my experience. The 
strap would "settle" some  even  after it was pulled up tight and let the 
boat 
move several  inches  backward. Once the boat has moved backward, you 
cannot 
move  it forward  again without damage to the bunk carpet and maybe the 
boat  
unless you  launch it in water and retrieve it again.

It will  move forward again  from downhill travel and you have to stop and  
tension the strap again. The  boat pulled hard enough on the strap  over 
time 
that it caused the near  failure of the strap bolt. I  am hopeful a larger 
strap and more robust  bolt that is more  correctly sized for the winch 
than 
the old one, will  help minimize  this tensioning change. Thanks for the 
response. It was  helpful and  if you have a home on the lake with your own 
dock as I  suspect, I am  green with envy. Take care.

David Bradley: Have not  connected  with any 22 owners in person yet but, I 
am 
looking forward to it   if I don't wear out my welcome on the list first. 
Our 
real sailing  efforts  will begin next season. My primary concern now is 
learning  about the boat,  engine, trailer, getting it properly set up for  
winter storage and the  occasional 90 MPH plus gap winds that hit our  home 
at 
the foot of the  Olympic mountains every November and  December.
