So, last year I got a new to me bay boat. My third trip to the bay I had a bearing smoke up on me. I replaced both sides and bought a spare set to keep with me.
Well over the weekend I had the same side that smoked up on me, do it again!! Really put a hurt on my weekend fishing because once I put the spare on with no seals I didn't want to put it back in the water because I still needed to get 75 miles back home.
Anyhow, when I bought the trailer the guy that had some work done to it said McClain Trailers advised if the trailer were to be replaced, it needs to be a tandem axle. I agree!!
That boat is too big to be sitting on a single axle.
So do I:
Take current trailer to shop and have them put two new axles on it.
or
Buy completely new trailer and be done with it.
Thoughts? Who has replaced a trailer on a boat? Good manufacturers?
Thanks guys and gals!
