Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Is there a way to lift a pontoon off of the bunks to clean the crud off??
And no I don't wish to rent a fork lift> old jim

Don't know but looking for same answer

engine hoist

Jack up one side at a time and block it up so it doesn't fall on you, that's what I like about my roller trailer, I can clean or polish almost all the toons on the trailer, then all I have to do is roll in back on the trailer six inches to get the spots the rollers covered

Another way is to slide the boat back a bit so the toons are off of the trailer ,then drop the tough to the ground raising the back and blocking that up, then raisin the front back up and after tieng the back off to a tree pulling the trailer out from under the boat and then blocking up the front

I just clean the part of the toons that I can see while the boat sits on the bunks. The bottom of the toons gets cleaned off when we beach on the sand or when I power load back onto the trailer.

Herb, would raising one side put a lot of pressure on
the off side? old jim

No, I did Herb's method with my Party Cruiser and it was 5500 lbs. Never had a problem cleaning and bottom painting that way.

Thanks Ed, still a lot to consider. old jim
