The guy i bought it from must have thought i was mad!
I spent ages measuring it up before i handed over the money
although it is adjustable on just about everything.
The boat sits a bit high for my liking at the moment but i can lower it by up to 6"
should also help when launching at the slipway (sorry, boat ramp)

    Sitting high is always an issue with those roller bunk trailers but bringing them down 6" should help.

    As for those colourful graphics......they wouldn't be my first choice either.

    Can the graphics for Mariah's still be bought?
    I’ve got a guy over here who can do a vinyl wrap if I want, or pretty much any design I like,
    but what I would like is just a wavie checker flag and the Mariah logo and shield.

    My guess is some sort of "bumper" so the person behind doesn't plow straight into that shiny volvo outdrive! I recall seeing something like this on another european boat trailer once before.

    They are to carry the light board
    In the UK the lights are supposed to be at the furthest point rear on the trailer and load.
    Although this is not always the case.
    they do offer some "visual" protection to the leg but thats about all.
    they wouldn't do much if some dorris was to drive into the back!
