| Not off the top of my head (and they all don't necessarily have to be
wired the same way to work).
Trailer wiring can be a pain.
Boats is available now... (VICKI::BOATS)

| WHITE chassis ground
BROWN clearance & tail lights, license plate
GREEN right turn signal
YELLOW left turn signal
If the vehicle has separate lamps for turn and stop lights you will have
to buy a converter. These are now available in many auto parts stores,
and even some department stores.

If your putting new pigtails on, you also may notice that the new
one has 4 wires as stated in the previous note but the trailer
may have 5 2 browns. Because sometimes they run seperate running light
wires on each side. If this is the case simply put the 2 brown wires
on the trailer side together and put them on the single brown on the
pigtail side.

I had a problem with boats long ago and deleted it.
When I went looking again, the dir said it was on
SAMIAM. That got me nowhere fast, so I decided to
pester the pros for the nice lady.
She's all set, the kid got it with your help and
me riding "pony express".
Again, thanx guys!

| 1571.5 | Make it fit... | CGVAX2::VACHON | | Tue Jul 30 1991 10:27 | 14 |
| Hopefully some of you folks can help me out with this question. I will
be going down the Cape for Labor Day weekend and a friend of mine wants
me to bring down his grandparent's boat. The problem is that my trailer
is set up for 14' Deep V hull and his boat is a 16' tri hull. Do you
guys know if my trailer could carry this boat safely? I have a E-Z Load
trailer which has two sets of rollers going down the middle and a pair
of carpeted guide rails. (not to be confused with one of those drive on
trailers)
Let me know what you guys think.
thanks!

| Martial,
A couple of things that I would watch for...
First, what is the weight capacity of your trailer? Will it handle the
increased weight of the 16' boat?
Second, since the 16' boat is longer than your boat, make sure that the
stern of the 16' boat is fully supported by either the bunkers OR rollers
all the way back to the stern. If it isn't, the weight of the motor could
damage the stern or hull. (DonMac can attest to that problem with his
little 14' aluminum with 10hp!)
Third, make sure that you have at least 100 lbs of positive tongue weight on
the ball. If not, the trailer may sway all over the road. If possible, you
may want to move the winch forward to 1) increase tongue weight and 2) to
ensure the stern is supported by the bunkers.
Also, since the 16' boat is a tri-hull, make sure that the hull has adequate
support on several points of the hull or you run the risk of damage.
Good luck.
Joe

| I'd call the folks at Greene's Marine, where you bought the trailer
and ask them what they think - they probably could tell you right off
whether the trailer could handle it. I'd be skeptical... -donmac

| 1571.8 | Watch out!!! | CGVAX2::VACHON | | Tue Jul 30 1991 13:25 | 6 |
| Thanks for the info! I just got a call from Keith and after reading
your respones I have decided against it. The last thing I need is to
be banging cars off the road while my boat is swaying 8^)
