Adam F Posted September 7, 2004 Author Report Posted September 7, 2004 Cheers Mike. I tried Towsure earlier on, they didnt have any. And I got flashed by a bloody camera coming out of Soton! I have actually taken the bits off the broken uint and fixed them to a new piece of plastic - cant get the wiring to work though...you wanna have a look? Quote

Paul D Posted September 7, 2004 Report Posted September 7, 2004 Adam, Get one from Ambrose Trailers along Barrack Road in Christchurch. Mine came with around 21 ft of cable ( it is in fact too long ). Quote

Newboy Posted September 8, 2004 Report Posted September 8, 2004 I have a spare trailer board (bought from Towsure) you can have, but it has only 6 m of cable. I used it with my Shetland which was 18' long with an entension, adding up to 4' and it worked fine. Quote
Adam F Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Posted September 9, 2004 Cheers Kam - is it a 6' board?? Quote
Newboy Posted September 9, 2004 Report Posted September 9, 2004 oops, it's only 4' wide, is it ok? Quote
Adam F Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Posted September 9, 2004 Nope - thanx for the offer though!. As it is an indespension trailer it fits across the beam - 6' Quote
Guest Gary Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Hi I don't know if your sorted for your trailer board but if not you can get one from Orkney Boats in Arundel. I needed one for my Orkney 520. Cost about Quote

Seamouse Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Hi, Rather than use trailer boards with enough cable to reach the car, try fitting an intermediate connector at the trailer wheelarch. Then the board only needs about six foot of cable, much easier to set up, take down and store. The connector at the wheelarch can be bolted to the arch by a spacer plate (Halfords supply all the bits needed) then a cable run forward along the trailer to reach the car, permanently positioned by cable ties or whatever. Much more user-friendly than 20 foot of cable to secure each trip, though it won't serve folk who like to deep-drown their hubs (sealing the connector unit with silicone rubber helps control splashes but won't resist immersion).
