Nice purchase there nudeup. Good price. The hooks sharp or need a touch up?

Took delivery of my new trailer today. Drop down spare wheel for beach launching. Awesome little unit.

Nice trailer... does the drop down spare wheel move like a jockey wheel?

i like the spare wheel idea , been meaning to get one on mine for a while now.
did you get a quote for an alloy version of the trailer?? and was it a big difference in price?

Yeah by quite a bit. Also more maintenance than a gal trailer. If I look after this trailer and re maintain the fittings etc it will last for a long time. When it starts to get rusty I can re treat it etc.

Yeah nudeup. That's the other real bonus. Spare hub and bearings on the boat in the event of one letting go.

It wasn't a cheap addition but a worth while one. I was going to Jerry one up using a swing away jockey wheel frame. Mount a stub axle to it and lift it up and down as needed. Trailer guy said as soon as the tyre buries itself in the sand the frame will let go when you snatch it.

This mechanism is very simple but very strong. Worthwhile addition imo.

Thats interesting you say more maintenance on an alloy trailer. i was told the opposite loll.anyhow they are not cheap thats for sure.
regular washdown after salt use is as good as regular maintenance can get.

Remember to carry an air compressor so you can let your tyres down on sand
