Snohomish County Boat Trailer Repair
« on: September 04, 2020, 07:21:29 AM »
Anyone know a place? Only one I know of is Smiley's up in Mount Vernon.

Was winching my boat up last night to find my winch going toward my boat instead of the other way around. Weld broke on the base of the winch stand. Would just weld it up but I'm leery of welding galvanized metal, plus corrosion after the fact.

You could replace the post and winch for cheaper than taking it to the shop. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDMKBXG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_UjLuFb7Z04J5X

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Unfortunately, I can't find a part on Amazon that ships in a reasonable time frame. AND King trailers won't sell the part direct...

FYI 6 Roblees in Everett normally has what you need, and their wharehouse is in Seattle and they get resupplied every other day i think.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Welding galvanized parts is not a big deal except the fumes are nasty.  You will want to avoid breathing them in.  A respirator or a big fan is all that is needed.  As far as corrosion goes the standard practice is to spray cold galvanizing over the area and call it good.  Unless you want to send it off to someone to have it regalvanized in a dip tank.  Aalbu Brothers in Arlington could take care of you and they are easy to work with.
