[Rhodes22-list] Triad Trailer brakes and adjustments

[Graham Stewart]

Mark:
I am not sure who you are asking the question of but I can tell you that the
boat rests entirely on the bunks - not the keel. I originally had a support
under the keel p-laced there by a previous owner and the keel developed
serious cracking that might have been caused by the boat bouncing on its
keel. That was a hell of a fix. 

I have attached a picture of a trailer which someone posted and is identical
to mine. I have also attached the dimension diagram that shows the exact
position of the axel in relation to the frame.

I just bought a used trailer which I need to fit to the boat.  Your diagram
is exactly what I need to do it.

I do have a couple questions though.

1 - In pictures I have seen a center bunk support.  Does your trailer have
it?  What is the height/location?

2 - Are measurements center to center.  For example the axle distance from
the rear of the trailer.  Is the 70" from the rear of the trailer or the
center of the bunk support?

3 - Several experienced sailors have told me to put weight on the keel -
don't let is all rest on the bunk.  But your diagram and pictures show there
is no keel support.  Is this correct - all the weight is on the bunks?

Have trailer - next I'm getting a 1983 which has IMF and needs cabin work.
