[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 210928, member: 1055"] A couple of updates to the trailer. New winch post with new winch. I was able to move the winch about 6" closer to the boat, even with the winch mounted to the bottom of the cross bar. Upright is 2x2 square tube 1/8" thick, welded to a 4x4" square mount piece that is 1/4" thick. The cross brace is also 2x2 square tube, however its 1/4" thick. I drilled and tapped the winch mounting holes in teh 1/4" tube. The 1/4" tube is the same thickness as the nuts that came with the winch. The hook below the winch is where I hang the trailer my safety chains and boat bow safety chain. Side guides are made from 2x2 square tubing 1/8" thick and the light plate is 1/4" thick. That ought to protect the lights from damage. I also installed some HDPE on the inside so the boat slides easily on the guide. Both have drain holes. [/QUOTE]
