Im having some late season boat issues so if anyone has an open seat I'd like to get out a few more times. PM me, I would like to get out this weekend if possible.

Well I got my boat running like new….. but now my trailer is definitely out of commission for the test of the year. I lost the bearing cap on the way to Oser today and didn't realize it until I got there. The hub was riding directly on the spindle (for a while) and royally F-ed up the spindle. I drove to south haven picked up a bearing kit and a file but it was to messed up to even get a bearing on. so Im still sitting hear waiting for my dad to get hear so that i can back the boat on to his car hauler.

Been there done that. Happened to me when I was up in Newago. Luckily, we were able to get some new bearings on the spindle, and limp it back home. They were fried by the time we go back though. Had to cut off the spindle, and weld a new one on. Been working like a champ for 6 yrs now!

Hey Adam, sorry to hear about the trailer problems. I replaced my axle several years back with Spindle-Lube axles, they can custom make about anything for you, and its good stuff.
