105 bows...

[mhb285]

Are the wooden bows on my trailer suppose to be bowed? Or are they just slightly warped.
I'm planning on getting new ones cut at the local lumber yard & was just wondering.
Thanks
Mike

They should be straight.

I bowed mine and braced between them to give me a little more head room and make the water run off a little quicker...but they are straight from the factory..

They are straight. Some are metal and others are wood.

Over the years , they bow down. I have un-bolted them and turned the bow up. They should be good for another 20 years now

I need to look at mine. Huge long wood box marked "M105" taking up way to much room with new sets in them. Don't know if metal or fiberglass. Gotta learn something about these.

So my question is, what part of the bow set do you have cut out of wood. And can you put up pics. I want to compare to this new set and see what the difference is, provided all the new parts are in there, and the wood part exists. I only saw metal parts, but need look again. Was in a hurry. Sorry. I promise to send you pics if you put some up too.
