Age of the trailer is important , most important is the load rating on the tire and to torque the wheel studs every couple of hundred miles when doing this hold the the bearing for heat and the tire for heat. Soft rubber is a killer. 🤞 😊 10:31

The Bayliner 2855 is a sweet boat. It was our first "big" boat in the Pacific Northwest. We loved it so much we upgraded to a 4788! We now spend our entire summer on our boat. Hope you're still loving the 2855. :-) A couple of quick notes from a former 2855 owner: check the bilge pump to make sure it works. Mine was burned out and didn't work. It was impossible for me to remove (don't have your skillset) as it was directly under the engine. It was easy to add a new bilge pump in a low spot, wire it up and good to go. Check the holding tank vent twice a year. Bugs nest in the tube and can clog it. Clear it with compressed air or a shopvac. If your depth gauge is off, they can be set with a clearance factor. I would set ours to show 8 feet as zero depth, as shorelines rise quickly here and I wanted an early alarm. Check the rubber bellows every trip for cracks and leaks. Water leaking in there will ruin your outdrive. Finally, if you want/need navigation I downloaded software to my iPad that is awesome. I prefer Navionics for ease of use and cost, though I also use iNavX (which is beefier but much harder to use, and is overkill for the average boater). Enjoy your time on the water!

The wooden beams they attached them to look pretty substantial, but longer straps would give more elasticity and better take any shock loadings.

[@nathanross6960]

I agree. We've all seen the photos of the boat on the bed of the truck after a violent stop. I would recommend a u-bolt kit each side of the rear trailer frame and a CE Smith Tie-Down Bracket attached by a nut on both. $20 to ensure she stays put.

Went back and watched that again, you aren't kidding, it really was flexed. Wonder what that tongue weight is.

[@AnthraxBird]

Damn I didn't even notice that. I had an 18.5ft boat w/ a single axle trailer. I couldn't lift the tongue on that, it was probly 400lbs. This boat most likely has a tongue weight of 1,000 - 1,500... At least!

[@johncalise4858]

Tongue weight is usually 10% of boat weight just a rull of thumb

[@TheDeezelsmoke]

Jeffrey Buerk lol, no hitch has a 5000 lb tongue rating. Class three drawbar is 500lb, Class V is around 1800 I think.

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

@@jeffreybuerk9426 if you watch it in full screen and slow down you'll see that the ball mount definitely flexes. There may also have been slop in the hitch adapter which would only cause more issues, if the hitch is jumping around every time the boat shifts then eventually the metal will fatigue and bend or snap.

[@howardmccarthy5811]

Definitely keep the other props for emergency spares! I would highly suggest you redo the rear tie down strap bolts and put the eye bolts into the metal frame of the trailer. A boat that size could tear those eye bolts out of the wood if it shifted.

I’ve owned boats my whole adult life and spent a lot of time on them. (Nothing this big but it’s the same stuff just bigger.) I like everything you guys are doing.

Love the videos.

[@samdeangelo6640]

Oh. And when trailering, at least in Ohio, an easy tension strap under the outdrive or a like minded product is safer. Especially since the o-rings in the hydraulic pumps for the trim and tilt can pop and the outdrive sags and drags. And skegs are hard to fix and bolt on replacements can throw the balance off. Basically you end up needing a new outdrive housing. Happy boating!!

Great job and nicely edited! Just a pointer on starting an engine when its out of the water. Always hook up the garden hose with water, even if its only a quick start. You don't need water for engine cooling, but you do need it for lubricating the water impeller that's inside the lower unit. The rubber impeller will melt almost immediately if it doesn't have water to lube/cool it.

Immediately change your fuel/water separator, and add a fuel stabilizer to your gas with every time you add fuel. I noticed your engine, no matter what you have been told, premium fuel at minimum. These are mandatory if you are not using your boat routinely. A 9volt battery with a button on the hot wire will help you open the injector shutter and you can spray cleaner backwards through your injectors body to really clean them. Change the oil and substitute a quart of Lucas oil stabilizer for one of the quarts of oil. Your engine will love you for this and give you less damage since it won't be running regularly.

[@thomasminella8268]

When you were changing the lights in back, use the metal loop that was in the picture for the rear straps. The hole in the bunk that you did is only as good as the wood itself is. When you need it, the wood might not be strong enough. Also make sure that you change out the raw water pump impeller. Never know when it was changed last. When pulling out the boat, Get your bunks wet first and then pull up. I usually just show the tips of the bunks, but that will vary. If you always go to one ramp, then mark the water level that works best, and make sure that you can see the mark in the camera. Enjoy and be safe, remember to turn off the blower when fueling and back on when your done. Last thing you need is to have a spark around fuel that is within the boat.

[@corvairchris82]

I agree, the tie downs need to be in the metal of the trailer frame, not the wood. Also make sure your tie down straps are up to the job, they each need to be rated greater than the weight of the boat in case one come loose.

I have towed my 22 ft..with no strap's 1,500 miles straight..no problem..I don't think y'all need them strap's.but your call.i have never ever had an issue...in 15 years .. hauling that boat around... Great boat by the way..very pretty wife.. supportive...you guys go man go...👍👍👍👍

@@DonCatherman well I experienced the bad side of not strapping the boat down. Went maybe 50 miles and found the boat sitting on it's side. Went to an auto shop and they hooked onto the outdrive and lifted up the boat so we could reposition it. 20 foot boat. It was pouring down rain when we pulled it out and decided to skip it. Well it didn't work out for us. But, I see people pulling boats all the time without tie straps and I guess don't have a problem. So who knows, I always strap my Malibu surf boat down for sure. Straps are built into the trailer. Happy trailering.

@@bryanhays7753 guess it's luck ..idk..my boat is 22 ft.cuddy.. Heavy.....deep v...never had it move an inch..towed it from NY to Mississippi.. Mississippi to Tennessee...20 years of good luck.

Recommend; Disconnect the The Trailer electrical plug before launching. Even though, a fantastic job of new trailer light install was done. Keeps towing vehicle trailer lights fuse from blowing and keeps from ruining the the wiring in the event the is a short to water.

I love that you guys know how to work on the engine and installation of various parts. So happy for you both.

"Good job Aaron'' I love it when she says that

[@79tazman]

You can send the injectors out to be cleaned professionally places like Mr Injector cleans them and flow test them and replaces all the filters, o rings, spacers and pintle caps and they come back brand new

[@flyingsparksgarage]

79tazman We have sent injectors off before- we only had a few days though 🤓

In addition to just simply enjoying your content, I like how you acknowledge comments.

[@stevekreibach2889]

I am enjoying watching your adventures and attitudes. Love it. I would recommend using a forged structural shouldered eyebolt for the trailer tie down rather than the non-structrual kind that's not a joined circle.

[@TroyGabe]

Beautiful boat and you all did was so great getting the boat ready cleaned and safe.. You will have so much fun and many years of boat joy. I hope you enjoy the boat as much as I enjoy your channel 😊

[@louannad1]

[@justinbeltran717]

I'm so ready to get a boat now. You guys are awesome for working on the boat together.

[@matthoward5420]

I think that’s a great boat if that was here in Australia 🇦🇺 with a stuffed/broken motor it would still be worth at least $40-$50k 🤦🏻‍♂️ so you guys did great 👍🏻

[@jaytomson7052]

That water there in Arkansas is so clean on that wishywashy lake!

[@jkabens]

In 1983, my wife & I drove from Wisconsin down to Lake Ouachita on our honeymoon & camped along the shore & sailed in an 11 ft Snark. Fell in love with the Ozarks & have been back many times since. Love your videos.

[@rmd9032]

Hey Emily. Heres a tip when launching or loading a boat that size on a steep launch ramp. Chock the wheels on your truck just in case!!! I saw a few videos where the weight of a heavy boat pulled the truck into the water and flooded it. Especially on a wet slippery ramp.
