Safely Remove Your Boat from a Trailer on Land

- Safely take your boat off the trailer. This is very useful when you need to do work on your trailer, or if you need to do bottom work on your boat. I show how I remove my sailboat from the trailer, but this method can also work safely with a power boat.

Get a Boat Off a Trailer 
Хобби
This has to be the most solid, least sketchy (aka not sketchy at all) trailer to cradle switch I've ever seen on youtube. You should see some of the ways these other guys get their boats off... oh dear. But -- great work Dennis!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much my dude. I followed your setup almost exactly and it worked amazingly!
That's great! I'm glad it worked out. Thanks for watching, tK!
Great job! I had envisioned the same forward support that you used, so nice to see it works.
Thanks for watching, Tom!
I don't think that's overkill at all. Better safe than sorry. You should have plenty of time to do trailer work and NOT worry about the boat tipping. Great job my friend. Steve
Thanks Steve! That's how it worked out.....I got delayed by other things and had the boat on these cradles for at least a couple of months. They held up great! Thanks for watching!
Your the reason I love you tube, thanks for these tips
Thank you!! I appreciate you watching!
Have a jon boat trailer needs bunks redone, this going to help me out a bunch .. Thanks for Posting !
I'm glad this is helpful! Thanks for watching, Jerry!
Thank you very much Sir! I built mine just like yours and it worked great!!
That's great Kevin! I'm glad it worked. Mine did well, I was able to get my trailer rebuilt and a little bottom work done on the boat. It felt safe and secure to be under the boat. Thanks for watching!
Very ingenious! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching, Erich! I appreciate it!
Good job bud. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us it is much appreciated 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks for watching, Phil!
Got some great ideas. Thanks for video.
Thank you, Chris! I appreciate you watching!
thank you so much for making this video!
Thanks for watching, Larry!
Awesome video you helped me out a lot with my boat!
I'm glad this helped! Thank you for watching!
Impressive. Thank you
Thanks for watching, Sam!
Genius I tell ya! Doing that for mine. Good stuff
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you Sir I now know how too remove my 18 foot trailer sailer, much appreciated
I'm glad this helped you! Thanks for watching!
Great stuff man! Thanks for the video. I’m working on a much smaller boat but as a first timer your video helps answer lots of questions.
Glad this is helpful! Thank you for watching!
Great Video.
Thank you Chris! I appreciate you watching!
Impressive great job...Been watching videos on off loading a boat trailer just bought an older tri haul wanted to take off trailer and repair and paint the trailer. Thank you...Shoe
Hope it goes well! Thanks for watching, Shoe!
after a decade of Sailboat bottom maintenance 25' & up if we couldn't lift & hang it in straps we pull up between two poles ( two trees ) using the halyards or sheets with the winch it snug bow and stern , two port, two starboard standing straight on keel, deep, shoal, swing drop the bunks , straps, pads NEVER once had an issue
Sounds like a good setup. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant!!
Thank you! and thanks for watching!
Great work, great presentation. Seems like your setup could handle an aircraft carrier, but wise to err on the side of over building.
I'm sure it can! I just used what timber I had on-hand, but I'm sure this would hold a much heavier boat. Thanks for watching, Alan!
Loved it
Thanks for watching, Gerard!
This totally helps. I was trying to figure out how to get past the multiple cross members when only doing a center bow support, versus your span rig. Now, any tips how to get past the issue of trailer guides on the back that stick up in the air a couple of feet?
Thanks for watching, David! I'd see if the vertical guide could be taken off the trailer. Sometimes they are just bolted on with a couple of bolts. If not, you might have to set up for two fore supports. Build the most forward one under the boat, move the trailer as far forward as you can, then build the second fore support right behind the vertical guides and remove the first fore support. Or maybe you can get enough support under the keel and do the same type thing just using 2 keel supports, letting the aft support hold the boat steady.
Dennis I need your help! I have used all your videos to change my headlights fog lights and high beam light on my 2010 Camry. Awesome videos. All of a sudden my light switch knob fell off! Just the stick… can you help me adjust it back on?
Thanks for watching, Andres! I'm not sure I understand what happened, Please send me a photo at dwcoffey3@bellsouth.net and I'll try to help.
Great video! going to work on trailer bearings?
Thank you for watching! I just replaced the trailer bearings, but now I have to replace all the bunk boards, the winch and the bow roller.
Not to diminish your engineering prowess, but what's the downside of leaving the boat anchored at a nearby lake for a couple of days, allowing for trailer repairs?
Not a bad question at all! This is exactly what I would have done if I thought I could make it to the lake. The nearest boat ramp with 24" of water to me is about an hour away. I had zero confidence that the trailer would make it without incident, so the boat had to come off in the driveway. Thanks for watching, Troy!
Good job but 4x4 aren't strong like that you could have used 2x8 and made a header beam
Thanks for watching, Don! I'm not sure what part of it you are referring to. I used 4x4 for the posts and the feet. As posts/columns 4x4 yellow pine is good for a minimum of 4300 lbs each. My boat only weighs 1200 lbs total, so each post got a maximum load of around 500lbs, assuming the rear cradle got more weight due to the placement of the ballast in the boat. The feet on each cradle only get the load from each post and a small additional load from the diagonal braces. The good thing is that my boat is fairly light, so most all of what I built would take a lot more load than my boat would put on the structure.
Concrette block breaks real ez
Thanks for watching, John. On the open face, concrete blocks will support up to 1700 lbs each. My boat weighs about 1000 lbs, so no worries about the blocks breaking. Whenever using concrete blocks, the load should always be on the open faces rather than the closed sides.
Mate you totally over engineered that contraption. I supported my 30ft 2 ton trailer sailer on much less than that but it did feel a bit precarious.
Oh yea, it would hold twice the boat than I have, but I worked with what lumber I had and since I needed to have it off the trailer for 3 weeks or so, I didn't want to worry about it. All worked out in the end! Thanks for watching Philbo!
He is one if the very few people to actually get it right with as little effort as possible and secure his investment and be structurally safe. He also made it look easy, and it was compared to most of the crap other people did on RUclips. Always better to be over designed and supported, than risk damage to the boat and your own safety because of cheapness and stupidity.
You are one of the few people in RUclips to actually get it right while making it safe. The more structured the support, the less risk of damage to to your boat or yourself. Better to be safe than sorry and not cheap like some of the others. I wound build my supports like that.
People may think it's over engineered by TV it's not their boat and if you are an engineer, like me, you would know the value of doing so, even for this.
Woulda been safer & simpler to just
put the boat in the water😂
If the trailer would have made it to the lake, that's exactly what I would have rather done. Unfortunately, it would not have made it. Thanks for watching!
You could have just pulled the ramps backwards from under the trailer and lowered it that way. But I guess you had factored the height of the added bricks into the lumber construction? You could have just jacked trailer sides and removed tables one at a time. Good job and plenty of over kill on the construction.
Thanks for watching, George!
