I pull the tires off and store them in the basement they last much longer that way. I pull the hubs and bring them to the basement as well. This way when I have time over the winter I can clean the berrins and repack them with new grease. I cover the spindles with platics.
I cover the boat with a tarp leaving the ends open for air. and I leave it on the trailer. But I losen the winch so there is no persure on the bow ring all winter. And one last thing I also leave the boat back on the trailer about a foot or so every other year, This way it rest in a different spot each winter. I have heard of boats that get small dents in the bottom from sitting in the same spot all the time.
Does all this stuff help who no's but I have never had to change a hub or even a berinn in the 7 years I have had the trailer.
