Yes, that's the same Model #. Did they give you a choice of tires? You are right about the actuator being too low on the tongue, I submerged mine on the Wahweep ramp last month, my exhaust pipe was underwater as well.. No damage was done to the actuator itself I think (HydraStar) but I had to...

Colby, I think you are making the right choice. I ordered my LoadRite Elite in 2016 (GVWR 9940 lbs) and have put about 15k miles on it since with no problems other than tires, It came with 15" Karrier Load Stars D, an inferior quality tire in my opinion. Tom (Avidmagnum) was a lot of help with...

This will make for some welcome 2021 excitement! 50 knts,+!! Hard to fathom.

Hey Desert Dory, sorry we missed you on Lake Powell this time, enjoy your trip. Where in Tucson are you? We live in the Tucson Mountains side of the valley, Alain

Mepps #5 :)

We plan to launch from State Line ramp on Monday the 21st and work our way up lake, any specific place in Cedar Canyon? Alain

Great picture. Is the road surface well graded and compacted or is there any looseness especially in the hairpins that would make loose traction?

Bill, thanks and looking forward to meet again. Colby, I heard about the Dugway but i did not realize it was 11% grade!! Sorry we missed you. Alain

Yes I could, of course it is quite a bit more driving to get there from Tucson. So, the question is: extra miles on the road or extra miles on the water. I'll figure it out. How is the ramp in Halls?

It is a long way up to Cedar cny.but we'll give it a try if we launch as planned

Anyone planning on it? Alain

Glad you figured it out, it could have put a big dent in the enjoyment of the trip. Another "Moral Of the Story": keep fuel supply separate for kicker and Main :wink: How is it up there? I am thinking of heading up in a couple weeks or so. Keep track of the good spots and share. Alain

I am also thinking September/October, it has cooled down some by then and the crowds are much thinner. coming from Tucson I usually launch at wahweap or the ramp by the campground. Here is a website worth keeping an eye on though: https://www.nps.gov/glca/april-2020-wah ... mp-faq.htm

Colby, you need the head window screen and the Port aft one, correct? Email me, alainprovostt37 AT gmail DOT com with a mailing address. Alain

Yes, that is the exact set up i have, works very well, never had the hook slip off the chain even in the La Paz anchorage where opposing wind and tides can lay havoc with your tackle. Your chain might still wrap around your anchor though if you stay there long enough,

Bob, I have been using the one on the third picture of your post ("A more secure version") on my 1/4" chain with very good results, I think i got it from Defender.

Screens are a must. Surely someone out there fabricates custom size frames, I could send you a full scale pattern if ever needed.

A space in the bunks to run sling straps is nice to have if a crane is ever used.

Ah, Tom! it is tempting if for nothing else than to get away from all the wild fires around here. I thought there would be no Isle Royal this year until your post today june 23rd. Too little time to prepare and travel plus my trailer is incapacitated and under major remodeling. Good fishing, Alain

Colby, thanks for the offer but I already have all the pieces , I think. I got the Hydrastar actuator kit from etrailer and a Tekonsha controller. You are right, figuring out where and how so secure the stuff is the real challenge. I am building a small platform out of 1/4" aluminum for the...
