Once the trailer that 113 sits on was parked and blocked, adjusting the pads her hull rests against was easy. I just backed off the pressure until the pads could "wiggled" about their axis while maintaining contact with the hull. Given the stable platform the need to re-adjust only arrises when we move the trailer to another site.

This January we brought another boat to MN and set her in the back yard. Instead of sitting on a trailer or cradle, this one is sitting on timbers and boat stands. Well the difference between January and Aprit in MN can be big. As the ground begins to thaw the hull is settling necessitating re-adjusting the boat stands. I kept them pretty snug throughout the frozen months checking them every week or so, more for peace of mind that she wasn't shifting around (falling over) in the gale force winds that blew for days at a time. But how much pressure is enough? Is there a foot pounds measure to apply here? I have been backing them off as she settles but thought I should ask those who have experience with sort of thing before continuing on blindly based on a hunch.

Thanks a bunch!
