MONTAUK 17 Transom Repair Due to Rotted Wood
There has been water ingress into the transom of my 1985 MONTAUK 17 boat. A 2017 E-TEC 90 was installed on the transom (some time earlier) and due to the shallow splash well the installer used lag bolts for the lower mounting bolt. Predictably, this has permitted water ingress and wood rot, and the ...

Montauk 17 Lists to Port Underway
[A MONTAUK 17 boat] sits in the water fine, but underway alone in the boat [to obtain even lateral trim] requires that I stand well to starboard. [This MONTAUK 17 boat] is powered by [an E-TEC 90]. Under the console is a single battery to port. A swim ladder is to port. Q1: for a MONTAUK 17 underway...

Re: Urgency to Change to Bunk Trailer from All-roller Trailer
I've decided to replace the all-roller trailer with a new LoadRite trailer with adjustable bunks and added keel support with rollers or pads on the cross members. Is aluminum or galvanized steel preferred? The LoadRite models I've narrowed to are 5S-17245090VT (steel) and LR-AB17245090T aluminium). ...

Re: Urgency to Change to Bunk Trailer from All-roller Trailer
My “quite a bit” is frequency based (weekly unload and load) not distance and NOTHING like Jim's “quite a bit.”
I'm a bit confused by Phil's post. Which photo is referred to re “current trailer in the photo”?

Urgency to Change to Bunk Trailer from All-roller Trailer
[For a] 1985 Montauk 17 with [an E-TEC] 90 that is now on an oversized single-axle Shorland'r all-roller trailer and will be trailered quite a bit, what is the urgency to change to a bunk trailer? I have read the trailer reference guide so I know [a trailer with floppy-rollers is] not preferred. The...
