My Sunfish Project!

Ready for Pick up

After many hours of work and preparation we are ready to go! I'll describe the work done to get the Sunfish into Ship-Shape below.

Replaced rope. Re-rust proofed frame of trailer.

Replaced safety chains. Replaced trailer ball lock mechanism. I actually bought the wrong assembly but I was able to gut it and just use the actual pieces I needed.

Mounted the spare tire. Note: I still need to repaint the wheel.

Bought new Tie-downs. Attached new fenders. Wet sanded the deck and then waxed it.

Repaired the leak in the mast step hole! I used fiberglass resin to recoat the hole.
Made assembly to hold mast and sail.

Patched up the broken end of this part.

Made back PVC assembly to hold mast and sail.

Back view

Replaced light with submersible one.

Replaced wheel. My local trailer supply place had the entire wheel and tire for $30! Added Bering Buddy . Repacked Bering. Note rust on fender....I still need to paint fenders.

Close up of the fender mount I made.

My Boat is in the center. I should have got a better picture but oh well. Note all the other Sunfish to the left of mine. Many others were docked all over the lake!
