Fitment of bunks and side guides
Did mount back the old 912 electric.
Built a platform (walkway) out of aluminum and trek type composite to make it easy to walk out and attach the bow hook and stay mostly dry (about 20" drier). Rubber non slip 3M things were at Walmart 2 for $7.

Fitment of bunks and side guides
18" chunk of 4x12 (easily cut with chainsaw) makes a great drive on for changing a flat tire on a tandem. Doubles as chock. Considering driving a couple screws completely through the tapered edge so it will get a bite on pavement and not slide as easily on drive up. At 18" it will just fit between tires for forward drive on with any tire. Other parts of the trailer travel box are: Fitting tire iron; 1 complete bearing/hub/seal kit; a second set/bearings only and races; spare bearing buddy and small grease gun; ir thermo; spare lights; tools for removing a hub; paper towels/orange gel/disposable rubber gloves; Small tarp to sit on; flares and safety reflector;trailer wiring circuit tester; chain/spare ratchet strap tie downs (for temp. emergency repairs). Please add other suggestions in comments.
This is working out very well. It is so easy to put on and take off. Fasten the rear tie downs first, then this big guy tigtens both ends down tight (by pulling the front down, back up)and front end tight to both the bow stop and the front keel roller. You can just twist the shaft by hand until tight, then a crank or two on the handle. This is the ultimate turnbuckle. The item I used is called an SCC Quikbinder. I got mine at Tarpstop.com for 34.50 + ship. I'm sure it is avail. elsewhere. WL is 7100#.(35,500# avg. break) I think at that point it is probably stronger than the bow eye. I cut off the bottom hook with an angle grinder (wouldn't want this thing bouncing down the highway) Have gained enough confidence to consider adding the powerwinch 912 back on.
