You know you in trouble when

your right rear trailer tire beats you down the exit ramp . That was how my day started on the RT95/RT295 exit in Rhode Island on the way to the Thames, with my tire sailing into the woods at 50 mph and sparks flying as my axle/springs hit the pavement. Three hours later and $225 lighter in the wallet, my boat was towed to a boat yard to sit while a new axle is ordered. I'm bummed I didn't get to fish, even with the rain it was one sweet fishing day.

Everyone tooted those Load Rite axles because the grease feeds both front and rear bearings, yet here I am not even one year later after a new set when in. Give me a good set of bearing buddies any day of the week. My old 1987 Basstracker trailer literally rusted out from around my old bearings and I never replaced them once, just hit them with grease every couple of weeks.
