[QUOTE="richg99, post: 432622, member: 4376"] Tried the "grab post" Wednesday morning for the first time. It worked super well. By holding onto the post, my big 'ol butt was easily swung over the bow and onto my spare tire, thence to the front step-pad on the trailer tongue. Someone suggested that the Galvanized U-bolts were too long. They were very right. I also reversed the U-bolts. I found that by positioning the too-long portion to the Port side, they blocked my winch handle from turning. At the boat ramp, I had to reverse the U-bolts. When I arrived home I cut them off and smoothed the sharp edges. All seems well now. Most of my projects need some "tweaking" on the first or second trip out, it seems. richg99 [/QUOTE]
