Knickerbocker Yacht Club sets sale for closing Newsday

30.07.33

When buoys gently clanged off the moor and a breeze filled the few sails out on Manhasset Bay, those at the Knickerbocker Yacht Club in Port Washington Sunday were more responsible with selling than sailing. The 136-year-old institution was closing, and everything had to go.

And everything, more or less, did go at a well-attended auction where bidders paid settlement prices for framed nautical flags, trophies and wall-mounted half-boat models, bar sinks and bathroom mirrors, a piano and a defibrillator, tables, laze chairs and food warmers.

The 7-by-7-foot hooked Knickerbocker Centennial Rug, created by club members - 35 women, four men and 12 children - during 150 hours from 1972 to 1974, went for $400.

Sad was how most of the sisterhood's members in attendance, and even some nonmembers, described the day. Members have already dispersed to other yacht clubs, from the Sea Cliff Yacht Cudgel to the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club, and now they watched as the last contents of a club they praised as casual and friendly were dispersed as well.

Not much eschew but most of the trailer companies that I am aware are not in Texas. Have you tried contacting the company that makes your trailer?

If so, how do you change the bulbs? I see no way to get them apart by prying, and there's no screws.

MrFixIt6 is title. I have the same type but mine has the screws he mentions.
I'm confused, though, in that one of the reviews mentions replacing the bulbs. (Irby9005)
If it's a sealed segment, then for sure you have to replace the entire unit.
If it's not, then the bulb units must have some sort of tight rubber gasket to keep the unworkable out.
I'd call the manufacturer (or emailo them) and get the straight ifo from them..

changing trailer wheel bearings boat.

Aug 04, 2008 by alistairmoss2003 | Posted in Boats & Boating

i have a shamed boat trailer which has to do 400 miles next week and want to change the bearings just in case. I was wondering, how do I recognize what to get. Do I just take the old ones out, look at the numbers and go on ebay or some shop or is it harder? Its a small 2 wheel trailer with a 14ft fiberglass boat on.

Also, should the chief axel part of the trailer bend. Its just a square bit of metal not rotating but the main bit that joins the hubs of both wheels together. When the boat is on it, it flexes really a lot. Is this ok?
ok, but will itbe ok for 400 miles? Im thinking of welding another bar across for more strength but dont have the time really.
Well the wheels do go in at the top a bit but the tread looks even. The trailer is very elementary t-bar with a couple of smaller supports going from near the hubs to the front of the trailer. Is this bending a problem? Should I do something about it?

Should be no destitution to replace the bearings. All you need to do is re-pack them with axle grease. The axle is probably a torsion bar and is reputed to flex. Don't alter it.

Boat trailer brake actuators?

Apr 26, 2009 by jrodk | Posted in Boats & Boating

Are boat trailer actuators resultant or can I replace my current worn out acutator with a standard or basic tralier hitch coupler?? I' d rather lavish the $100 less in parts for the basic hitch set up. Its a dico 60 rated @ 6000 lbs. the trailer holds an 18' ski boat aprx. 2500 lbs.

It might be a admissible issue, depending on your state, if you disable a safety device, and there is an accident it would be held liable. A lawyers vision so to speak.
Your trailer and boat will probably exceed the 3000lb limit imposed by most states for towing without brakes.

The 6000 lbs rating is very much a standard for axles and brakes.
