The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I installed some LED lights on the trailer last year.
Apparently the brake light is not working on one side. Could this be a wiring problem?
Do you think I can repair the problem or would I have to order a replacement?
Thank you,

Hi All,
The boat's on the trailer and I just installed new side navi lights. After installing the port side I flipped the switch to test it and it did light up. But after installing the starboard side, neither side will light...
Was told by 2 different shops that my front left bearing was rough and the right front bearings were loose. There was a very low volume roaring sound that went away after replacement. I suspect this repair was caused by towing/stopping my 6200 lb boat and tandem trailer because the trailer...
I have brake fluid leaking from the actuator. Where could the leak be coming from? Repairable? OR Should i just go ahead and buy a whole new actuator? (about $300)
Thanks,

I believe this is an obsolete MW prop. Is this a rubber hub or any kind or break away hub?

I have a tandem trailer and installed new tires summer '05. The lead tire on the right side is totally bald on the inside. The tread appears normal on the outside 2/3 of the tire. There doesn't appear to be any separation--it's just worn down. The other 3 tires appear normal.
What would cause...
I anchored close to an island/cliff that the kids like to swim/jump off of. When it came time to pull the anchor, i debated whether or not to start the engine first. I decided to go ahead and pull anchor first so then i wouldn't have to worry about my 4 yr old son messing with the...

I bought a mercury rev 4 prop on ebay. Man is this thing heavy. Does it use the same flo torq II hub kit that i use for the alum prop? OR is there like a heavy duty version of flo torq II?<br />Thanks,<br />Paul
