Post by Redfin »

Had a mishap on the way to the river Saturday morning. Upon arrival at 6:40am, I get out to loaad the boat, and one of the tires are smoking... afterinspection, the axle spindle, was riding metal to metal on the hub... andd white hot. Cant believe tire never came off... So right now my boats at the Econfina with 1 wheel...

Who do ya'll suggest for trailer parts around tally? Capital hitch?

Capital Hitch is good if you can just have a new hub kit put in.....I've always been unlucky enough to have the inner bearing get stuck on the spindle.....if there is damage to the spindle, Coastal would be better because they'll need the whole trailer unless you want to pull the axle :x
