[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=turtlecat]Wow Damon, was that a salt water boat trailer? OUCH![/quote]
Not really, I am the second owner of that trailer but I don't think Kenny backed it into salt water. Bearings can go any time.
I couldn't have been more lucky when that happened. I returned from a regatta on the Florida Gulf Coast to Memphis (about 500 miles), my sailing club is about 30 miles south of Memphis right on my way home, so about 1:00am I decided to drop the boat off at the club instead of towing it all the way home. Dropped the boat off in the dark and headed home.
The next weekend I was backing the boat down the concrete ramp to launch, when I noticed in my rear view mirror that the boat seemed to be wobbling side to side as it rolled.
The hub/bearings had completely come apart and the rim was riding directly on the spindle about to fall off the end.
I was so close to that wheel flying off at 75 mph in the dark on the Interstate. I wouldn't have even noticed it until the resulting fire got so bright it woke me up. :lol:
