I agree with everything you said - thank you. Trailer was purchased by the original owner in 2021. I purchased it from him in 2024. I have called the OEM tire company not looking for warrant claim (well past it as it was good for 1 year for the original purchaser). I sen them the pics. They...

If anyone recalls, I have a new to me boat trailer I purchased about a year ago that wore through a set of tires in under 500 miles - right down to the cords. When I bought the trailer seond hand, the tires were originals that cam on the trailer and they looked like they had zero miles on them...

I'd add one more comment. With a boat the sie you have, and electric start is almost a must have. They are about $60-85 on Amazon. Without it, to pull start it you almost have to be outside of the boat. It is awkward at best turning the mud motor sideways while keeping the prop out of the...

That's almost like cheating. I have seen them around here but rarely. One thing you might want to take a look at is the Facebook group that makes and uses scratcher motors. They too break through the ice and they have methods of getting back onto the ice. Your machine might be on the heavy...

It was much higher but I don't recall the exact number and the trailer is 100 miles away from me. Tire size is 4.80x12B tires Here is the trailer. It is made by Karavan but this one is labeled differently...

If so, why only one tire? Both were inflated to 45 lbs and when I notice the wear I checked the the inflation and both were at 42psi.

Thanks for the info. When I get back to the cabin I'll check the rolling resistance of the tire if any. I don't think it would be fender contact as the trailer is designed for boats heavier than mine but one never knows. Maybe the leaf spring on that side is damaged.

If it were over inflation wouldn't both tires be bad? They are inflated to the same psi. Just asking. Will check axle alignment when I figure our how to do it. Figure there must be videos out there.

But why then only one tire? Both were inflated to the same psi. Difference in tire quality between the two maybe? And what would be the correct pressure for this trailer that is carrying 3-350 pounds or so? I did check for wobble and there wasn't any. I did not lift the tire off the ground...

To answer a few questions. Tire inflation was right around 45 psi during the season and when the trailer was brought to the cabin for storage. Single axle trailer. Bearings were gone over before the season started and were good. Regressed at that time. Trailer is manufactured by Karavan...

First off - Happy New Year everyone. Big plans in the Wollner household this year. Take out Chinese, movie on Netflix or some other streaming service then to bed. BIG year this year...... I brought my Ducker to our cabin for storage this winter. Only place I had any garage space. I bought a...

Looks like I'm late to the party. Bought the first version of the Ion and have never looked back. I hated the smell of gas all over everything. In the vehicle, in the ice house and so on. The slightest gas leak would smell forever. Plus the hassle of dealing with small motor carbs made the...

Anytime. Just hanging in garage.

Looking for a new pair of hunting/ice fishing socks. My current set up is PP sock covered with wool socks. While this has worked for a long time, the cold takes a toll after awhile. I have been reading about Alpaca hollow fiber socks and the theory. Thing how these work makes sense to me...

I guess I have a different take. When I was younger my Dad, his best buddy and his son would hunt a very popular place on the Mississippi backwaters down near Wabasha MN. Opening day at the ramp was exciting and filled with adrenaline. The ramp was small and the line long. Everyone, for the...

Horgan is out of business and has been for some time. I still have mine but am considering selling g it as 4 duckboats is too many. If your near the twin cities, come take a look. If you search this site you will find photos of the boat
