[Rhodes22-list] Centerboard Down When Motoring on to Trailer?

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Jeff,

I have the same Fulton spare tire mount that I sent you the picture of.  It’s designed to be mounted either vertically or horizontally and strong enough; that, the spare tire doesn’t need to rest on anything.  The spare tire on my RIB’s trailer ( 15 X 205-70 R tire + steel wheel ) has been hanging out on this Fulton spare tire mount with no other means of support since 2012.  If you remove the constraint about the spare tire needing to rest on a horizontal part of the trailer, is there a place on your trailer’s tongue where the mount and spare tire would fit without obstructing anything?

The only place I could find on the Triad 2 axel trailer was in front of
the   vertical post which supports the "V" bow fitting. I wanted the spare
to rest on a horizontal part of the trailer.  That put it on the pin which
keeps the tongue extension locked.
