Trailered from Plymouth to mid-cape yesterday, upon arrival I did the hub check to see if they were hot, well I burned the skin off my finger.
The fishing trip was cut to a couple of hours to make sure we had time to change the bearing. Cape Cod should turn some of the t-shirt shops to trailer parts shops. Bennys and an autoparts shop had enough parts to give it a shot.
The replacement bearing (outer bearing) didn't exatly fit, but the wheel spun freely, wobbly but freely, and since its a tandem trailer, we said a little prayer and headed back.
Stopping frequently to check the bearing things looked good.
Made it home, but I don't think we would of made it much further(see pic).
Moral of the story - fish with mechanically inclined people.
