Hi,
Where are the best structurally safe locations to put jack stands on my beneteau Antares 710? Its on a trailer at the minute and needs adjusting weight at tow hitch. This is a first for me and would like to get it right and not introduce any stresses on the hull. The boat is approximately 23 feet, I think coming in a 1/3 of the length from the transom and a 1/3 from the bow, should give good stability and be near engine as this is where much of the load/weight is located. I have cut up a few old scaffolding planks to support center line keel, and will use a trolley jack to raise, I'll have friends at each screw jack to take up the slack.
Any thoughts good practice or safety factors, I should be aware of before I start?
Info appreciated..
Thanks
Harry
