Trailer Recall?

[mhedrick]

Hey Guys,

I talked to Bryant at Triumph on Friday. He said that in order to sale to the public he would have to have a dealer order the part, then they (Triumph) would have to create a part #. He said that the part would be in the neighborhood of $180-$200. I passed on the notion because I'm not guranteed that it will even work on my trailer (Wesco). I did however set the winch to the correct height, which is 24" from the tongue to the top of the bow eye. I'm in the process of designing/fabricating a bunk for my trailer just to be safe. Dick has assured me that the Wesco is set up ok for the boat though.

BTW, I did get the information from Triumph on 3-11 but I have no way of scanning it into the cpu. It shows all the dimensions.

Dick @ Merritt Marine,
I'm picking up my new 05 170CC ina couple weeks. I like the looks of the V bunk and wondering if it would be prudent to put one on my new trailer not just for support but for a more stable ride when I'm trailoring.

Don't give up so easily, Get me your Hull# & Trailer # I'll give it a try.

I am the second owner of a 2004 Bay 19 and called the Triumph factory today ( 1-800-564-4225) concerning the EZ Loader trailer recall. They will send the bolt-on additional bunk support directly to me. No charge. Triumph sent the recall letter to the original owner who is deceased.
P.S. I did pay the $300.00 warranty transfer fee back in January 05.

I don't know how I missed this thread, but I finally saw it tonight. What's this recall all about? Looks at first glance to be front V block support rail. Do these support blocks really need to be there or are they for some special circumstances?
I guess this mean another trip to the dealer? Oh joy!! Oh bliss!!

Guy's,
I have the recall letter at home and I can get it and fax it to anyone that desires it. Please let me know. There is nothing to installing the forward support, the big deal is to reposition the winch and stand. I have posted pictures of the winch in the correct position and the letter gives the dimensions.

Does this adjustment to the winch need to be done in conjunction with the installation of the V-Bunk? I ask, because I wouldn't want to do one without the other.

[JR_Gar_Fisher]

The letter say's to do both. Dealer messed up on the winch but it is no deal to fix yourself.

Could you pdf that fax and send it to me via e-mail? Would greatly appreciate it. It would be nice to have the proof in hand when arriving at the dealership. I'll bet he has no idea of any recall on any of the trailers he's sold....

Thanks in advance
Paul
