EZ loader trailer question

kraken · #1 08-07-2009, 07:32 AM

Hello everyone first post ever. I just bought an 82 Wellcraft V20 inboard outboard. The trailer, an EZ loader, needs the axles replaced before I can move it. I need to know the dimentions of the axles or a part number so I can replace them. I also was wondering why this particular boat had a NASCAR type sticker on 3 points. It said NASBOAT. It looked like a factory sticker. This boat will need and extensive cleaning and some parts replaced and if anyone has a good resource site for parts please email me. thanks.

I need the dimensions of the spring plates, hub faces, and overall tip to tip measurements.

I'm assuming the trailer is not near where you are now? cant you measure what you have now? I like trailerpartsdepot.com for my trailer parts....maybe you can look up there and see how many options they have for axels and figure out maybe what you have....I have a load-rite so cant help

Can you post pictures , a great one once said "picture tell a thousand words" :)
Axels are load rated and must match the correct hubs and leaf springs..
Do you have five lugs or four ?
Are you only replacing the axel only ?
I found a wonderful site that instructs you exactly how the measure the bad boy ..

Do you know which model you have?

Post your information on Uship and see if you can get someone to move the boat "as-is" with the trailer.

If the trailer is in that bad a shape . . . Buy a good trailer (new or used) drive up there block the boat up, put the new trailer under it and call a scrap yard. It's going to cost you almost as much to replace the axles, hubs, bearings, tires, leaf springs, U bolts, etc. don't forget the Hotel room for 2 nights (no gaurantee that the rest of the trailer is in serviceable shape) as it would to buy a good used trailer. . . . Is the guy going to let you do work in his yard? (saw the old bolts off . . . replace the axles) . . . That's a lot of work to do and drive 6 hours each way.

actualy the trailer is in great shape but the boat was used in brackish saltwater and the galvonization on the axles must have been eaten away. The brake housings and everything not aluminum, which isnt alot, has just deteriorated. The hauling part of the trailer looks brand new, just the axles are in such bad shape.

have you seen the trailer? why do you believe that the axles need to be replaced? Have they rotten through and split?
