Rolling a boat
Posted: 04 May 2012, 15:03
Rolling boat over, to work on it is usualy a 4 or 5 hands on helpers and blanket or matress to stop the hull getting damaged.
To day I rolled Invader over by my self, I mounted a t/pine log with 1" shaft in drilled into each end and mouted it in the trusses of the shed,
I bought to 6mt slings, jacked up the boat fitted the slings and pulled the trailer out from under it.
It rolled by hand and seemed to be heaver on on side needing a tie to keep it level to get the trailer under it again.
So now I can work on the deck along side of the little skiff at the same time.
T/pine log $19
Slings $48 each
Steel shaft I had .
