Message: <blockquote data-quote="enginerd" data-source="post: 417295" data-attributes="member: 21309">That's a handsome looking boat; I don't know if the running lights are original, but I like the style.lckstckn2smknbrls already told you pretty much everything I know about Sea King and I second the need to service, probably replace, your wheel bearings and seals.Although my boat is a Lone Star, I have virtually the same trailer (1967 Sea King instead of 1966) and your bunk and roller set-up look identical to mine, with the exception of the guides.  I have a few pictures of my trailer in my project thread here (<a href="https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41081" target="_blank">https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41081</a>), but I did modify the front winch mount to better accommodate the Lone Star.  I had to replace the two rear keel roller brackets since I couldn't find replacement rollers of the right diameter (all too large); the standard Atwood replacements fit the existing holes pretty well.  I couldn't find a bracket that would easily replace the forward most of the three keel rollers, so I took a replacement roller and shaved it down to fit the old bracket.  I tightened down a sacrificial bolt through the mounting hole, put the end of the bolt in my drill, and spun it on some heavy grit sandpaper on a flat surface.  I kept making black dust until the roller was small enough not to bind in the old bracket.</blockquote>
