Hey Wayne! Our etrailer Sidewind Aluminum Trailer Jack w/ Wheel #e95YV would be a great option for your Karavan Classic trailer. I found online that the 17 ft 1997 Boston Whaler Montauk comes in at around 950 lbs, so the #e95YV's 1,500 lbs…
I think the best option for your pontoon boat trailer would be to break the 18' long bunk boards down into three sections which then leaves 6' for each section. The shorter each board is, the more support you will have to a degree which is…
Two 12 foot long bunks boards will work well to support your 21 foot boat. Ideally, the bunk boards should be at least half as long as your boat and run from the stern (or a few inches beyond it) to the bow as far forward as you like. Due to shipping…
As the bunks will be support the weight of your pontoon boat, I always recommend getting them to the end of the transom, or as close as possible. As you mentioned using 14 foot long boards, you will want at least 4 evenly spaced support brackets per…

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
