Are the bunks adjusted properly to fit the bottom of the boat? Almost sounds like its tetering on them. Just a thought.
Trailer suspension parts
1 - 12 of 12 Posts
I'll put proper lube tomorrow, but spraying some PB Blaster on all moving suspension parts seemed to help a little (just bouncing it in the garage).
I noticed all the suspension pieces are labled "HADCO". Appears they are still in business in Corona, CA.
Boat is blocked in by my daily driver truck that has no engine/tranny at the moment so I can't tow the boat anytime soon.
Interesting. I know the bow eye arm is not adjustable. Not to say it couldn't have been moved in the past. Cav plate hangs past the bunks. The boat is a 19 ft. Family Ski bubble deck.
I've owned the boat since 2004, and this problem is beyond rediculous. I mean I see some of the worse beater boats ever driving down the freeway, and I can't even make it 20 minutes from Sanger, CA to Pine Flat without the boat getting all sidways on the trailer. I'm mechanically handy, just need some guidance from you pros that have been down this road
bulbThanks for the ideas so far. They have definitely helped.

Is your trailer made from rolled steel or heavier channel steel? Rolled steel will flex alot more than the channel aggravating the stiff suspension you prob. have from lack of grease in the shackles and equalizers. Make sure everything that is suppose to move does and if that doesn't solve the problem dissassemble the leaf springs and clean the rust and crap that prevents them from moving smoothly against eachother. It doesn't help that the roads are pure crap too.I'll put proper lube tomorrow, but spraying some PB Blaster on all moving suspension parts seemed to help a little (just bouncing it in the garage).
