launched the boat saturday, went out for 3-4 hours, came back to ramp and loaded boat. while pulling up i heard some scraping. first thought a wheel bearing had cut loose. got out and had wife pull forward while i walked by trailer. it was the fenders hitting the tires. limped home & pulled the fenders off. found the brackets that hold the axles had rotted off on on both sides.
i guess for 30-40 launches a year for 12 years in salt, not too bad.
i love boating, but hate trailers
