The suggestions were to paint the bow and then the stern anternatively.
Since the trailor jack esentially tilts the trailor, to lift the stern you
would lower the trailor jack all of the way thus raising the transom.
Support the transome with wood and cushoning material in this attitude then
raise the trailor jack. This will separate the back half of the boat from
the trailor so that you can get at the bottom to paint it. To saparate the
bow, you would do the opposite: Raise the jack all the way, support the bow
in this attitude, then lower the jack.
Other helpful tips were to cover the trailor so as to keep the bottom
paint off of the trailor. The trailor strap will need to be loosened and the
bow winch strap will need to be loosened.
Another good tip I've read in sailing mag was to use a good masking tape
that will come off when you're done without having to scrape it off after the
sun has welded it to the hull.
Happy paintin!
Bruce
