Sailer55330, I know what you are going thru.

One of my best friends quote “always some bull$41t” and that’s the way it has been with my boat. I just know that once I work thru everything it will give me years of service.

The trailer thing is a pretty minor issue. Do you have a mobile trailer service near you?
Also, find someone who does marine canvas/upholstery and ask them to repair that rip.
My 800 watt JL amp just quit. I think it's under warranty, but it is a pain to pull it and replace it.

Mike-

Good suggestions. I will be able to repair the trailer, now that I have found the brake line. No one locally to me carries them. It seems on my trailer it is 1/8" brake line and no one carries that. All of the places that make brake lines don't carry anything smaller than 1/4 and can't get the fittings for 1/8, or so they say. I tried all the major auto stores and no one has one with the correct fittings. Tried 2 local trailer shops and they are not in stock.

Finally found what I needed online, but will take a week to get here with the holiday.


As for the repair, my wife will be able to repair once her new machine arrives--been on backorder since March with nothing on the horizon. I'm more worried about being able to smooth and buff the rub rail otherwise it's going to happen again.
