    replacing bunk brackets

    I have a 1998 17' Sea Ray on a trailer and need to replace the bunk brackets. My question is is there any easy way to take the boat off the trailer in my driveway so I can work on the trailer? I figure there is an easy way to do this, but I can't figure it out. Thanks!
