Bob and Tom, My brain had a disconnect when looking at the model#s. I see your different model is the same except for the 2 long bunks. Mine do not articulate. I am going to get with the dealer and arrange a swap for bunks like yours and then use Tom's numbers to set up. I don't want to make my...

Tom, I sent you a pm with em and phone. Benton

Sorry for all this but if you go to the link I attached earlier my trailer looks exactly like the aluminum 5 Starr with the 2 guide posts, 2 4x6 bunks and the guide front bunks. :smilep

My model# is the same as Bob and Tom's. That is the aluminum 5 Starr. And it is 8400# capacity per the sticker on the trailer. There is a galvanized 5 Starr with a totally different model# and 8000# capacity. This was in stock and we did find some C Dory 25 pictures on the internet appearing...

My trailer is aluminum. There are some galvanized parts but the I beams are aluminum.

I have talked with my trailer dealer and we will wait for Tom's pics of his setup. We will then get the proper bunks and setup. Thanks for all the input.

Bob, Tom and others Here is a link to my trailer: https://www.loadrite.com/trailer-type/b ... ?type=bunk the 5 Starr is mine. I did pm Tom telling how I use my trailer. My boat is on our lift 24/7 except if big storm is coming or dealer service is needed. Launch is 6 miles away and dealer is...

Dittos on thegpsstore.com They were very helpful and quick shipping. :thup

Avidmagnum12 I just bought the same LoadRite Elite Series 5 Star trailer if the Model# is actually ......26T84 vs .....26TB4 (typo). Mine has the 2 4x6 slightly beveled bunks instead of 2x6 laying flat that I think I saw on yours. Could you send me your setup measurements? It sure would help...

David and I met Friday and he has now had a tour of a '25. I think he now understands the boat better. This is a great group that is always ready to help.

I just sent a pm since I don't see yours. Benton

David, We have a 25 and you are welcome to take a tour. If your location, PKS, is Pine Knoll Shores we are on the ICW across from you. Benton Blalock

When I helped Pat use his extractor to get the oil out I was sold. Easy and no mess. And you can do it when the wind is blowing. That is how I do it now. About $65.

Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like I'll have to give it a go again. The SO didn't like the dripping on to her head after crossing the Albemarle Sound with decent chop and crossing wind last week.

I tried to pull that hatch on Finale to fix it leaking but it was stuck down with 5200 or something too strong. Only leaks when in bad weather and heavy spray, not rain. Suggestions.

itiming So you get in and out of your kayaks from the ladder on the side? :shock:

Gary, when I lost power to my switch panels I learned the Accessory fuses(2) run them. I don't know if the gages were affected though.

I finally got serious about getting the SO's wiper fixed. On my 25' there is no fuse panel under the clear covered one on the vbirth bulkhead. Only a ground bar with many yellow wires attached. I took the wiper cover off and could not find any power getting to it but confirmed power at the...

I'm now contemplating trying to get the green trim on Finale back to almost new. Is there a way for me to determine if I took too much of the painted trim color off? The pads I used were very green after use. It almost seems to me that if the petroleum jelly made it look very good for 30 days...

Guys thanks for the information. I will be ordering the Pro. Also saw the short tube is used with filling the motor lift. That makes it a twofer. Benton :smiled
