Hi Simon
I did a full right up on the conversion that I made on my trailer being the same as yours.
As for the hight from of the tube from the mudguard I raised the bunk supports to there max and I had about a 1in clearance, it is important that the bunks are long enough to support the transom with the outboard on as shown in the photo below that I took today.
if you have not seen the way I did mine I have put the link is below if this helps.

I traveled from the UK to Galicia Spain 2 years ago, the KB350 never comes off the trailer so very happy, I have put a photo of it now on the trailer

While on the trailer I have my tube pressures at 0.16 bars being in a hot climate to allow for expansion on the watter 0.20 bars if this helps.

Hi Sib,
Yea I found your thread, good reading.

What do you use to check the pressure, as my pump only switches off when its met the pressure ?

How do you find your fishing seat ? I would have thought it makes you sit too high ? and why is it to one side, like many and not central ?

For the pressure I have a pump that turns itself off like yours, I just check it every so often had no problems doing it.
The seat is off centre because of steering the boat being able to hold the tiller arm.

Below is a link to a post that i put when doing the seat and the reason for doing it if it helps.

If you like any more information just ask.

Thanks for that, good read, and the seat to one side now makes sense.

Something else for me to make now, nuffin worse than an uncomfortable seat when sitting for a few hours ! :thumbsup
