While loading the sub onto the trailer at the launch ramp, ( after a fun day running on the surface at the harbor) we had the trailer at a less than perfect position in the water. The problem was one of my pontoons was a bit too close to the dock. Rather that re-align the whole thing I figured I could pull it out , straighten out and go back in for another go. The sub was back further on the trailer than it was suppose to be. Anyway I was able to get it back down into the water again and get the sub on there correctly. Afterwards looking at the trailer I ended up putting this big bow all along the length of trailer ! Like when you see those flatbed semi trailers when they're unloaded, they have an intentional upward bow to them. There must have been a hell of a lot of stress on that thing! Anyway now I have an upward flex arc on my sub trailer ! </FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV style=""><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"> </FONT></FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________<BR>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</A><BR><A href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</A><BR></DIV>
