Peter,
One of mine walked away somehow and I had to get a replacement. - rob

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.
