I do not think so, but I do have an idea...
  • Take the boat and raise the engine up.
  • Then run the jack stand all the way down.
  • Then place one of your standard automotive jack stands in the front of the trailer and lower the trailer onto it.
  • Then place some wood or blocks under the trailer jack stand again and run the front of the boat up even higher. Once that is done go back and extend the automotive jack stand to hold it in place. By the way, I never let my trailer "rest" on the trailer mounted jack stand and always have a truck rated one in place when at rest
What we are looking to do is raise up the bow much higher then normal and see if you can get some of the water that may be laying in the keel to migrate to the stern and out the drain I would also be interested in knowing what hole your engine is mounted in?

Let us know how you make out Brother
