Albin 25 bow access when single handed

Post by uptank001 »

At 75 I need a safe bow access system. The ladder is
1 1/2" square tubing welded to a 3/16" steel plate with holes to match the winch mount bolt pattern.
The toung is narrow and long so the 2x8 was added. The tall pipe is a safety post to mount/dismount from grade.
The trailer is roller so I plan to power up to near the bow bumper, stay in gear, down the ladder, attach the winch then shutdown.
The angled 2x8" tied to the trailer is a ramp/jack to pull the good tire up onto to lift the a flat tire off the ground to change. I plan to single hand the Chesapeake and want to be ready for unknown ramps with limited access or no dock.
Great group, big thanks for all the info and tips.

Yours should be the only post in New Posts. Everything else is off topic. Including this one!
