need trailer or haulout in or near seattle - Maxum Boat Owners Club

rgreenwell8962 · 06-03-2009, 06:14 PM

the hydraulic line from the pump to the leveler tab on the port side has blown apart and I need to replace it. I attempted a splice last fall but it didn't last long. the line blew out just at the point that it passes through the transom and I do not have a trailer to pull it out to gain acces to the connector on the tab. I have called all over seattle and nobody will let me do the work myself. The only alternative is to pay the service dept at the haulout locations which is several hundred dollars for a ten dollar part plus haulout fees. Does anybody know of a location that will haul my boat and allow me to do the work? Or, does anyone near seattle have a trailer that will fit a 2500 scr and would be open to helping me out? thanks a bunch

Hey RG
SeaPuppy turned me onto your situation. I joined the site because he wondered if I could help. I will be heading to Lake Washington this weekend. We have similar sized boats, so it may work out OK.
He gave me your phone # so I'll call it around 10-11AM tomorrow. \

This is great.....now I have 5 boating sites to watch...........

THANK YOU very much for putting me in touch with your friend. We spoke and he gave me a referral for a boat yard in Ballard to try out. I called the yard and got an appointment to have my 2500 hauled out which means that I didnt have to burden Todd, even though he was very gracious to offer. Thanks to both of you!!!!

Did you get it fixed? We didn't end up going out as the weather was poor, so hopefully you got your project done.

rgreenwell8962 · 06-09-2009, 08:10 PM

Seaview East is pulling me out of the water this Friday. I'll let you know, but it should be a quick fix.
Thanks again.
