This is the "what have I done?" point. Springs are dropped and the old axle (for V hull) removed. The new straight axle works with a C Dory. The axle had to be drilled to fit the bolts that hold the leaf springs together. Otherwise, it is a straight bolt-on job.
Complete axle ready to attach. Total unsprung axle weight is 138# (with wheels and tires).
New axle has a zerk fitting for easy greasing.

The new axle and brakes. Brakes came three days after ordering. Axle took 2 months. This is a 3.5K# axle, the smallest that comes with brake flanges. I didn't need 3.5K# for a CD 16, but I did need the brake flanges. Turns out that getting a new axle is the simplest way.
The first thing that I did was remove the old hitch and shorten the tongue. The new disc brake actuator was 6 inches longer than the original hitch and I thought the tongue was already too long.
