Re: Leaking Caulk Seams
I started noticing water and dirt [inside] my console. I looked for the source. The factory caulking had shrunk, leaving cracks where water and fine dirt could enter the console. My boat is five-years-old; I don't think it fair to blame the factory. Repair [of caulked seams] is routine maintenance. ...

Re: Boston Whaler Use of 13-inch Trailer Tires
Hey biggiefl, looks like good advice. [Please start a new thread if you want to change the topic to something entirely new. This thread is discussing Boston Whaler's alleged policy of putting trailers with 13-inch wheels under their larger boats so they look like an elephant on roller skates.--Moder...

Re: Boston Whaler Use of 13-inch Trailer Tires
I'm not arguing with any of your logic, it is correct but any increase in revolutions is an increase in the wear and tear on the tire, wheel and bearings. If I can reduce the number of revolutions by half a million a year by installing taller tires when it's time to replace tires anyway, why not?

Re: Boston Whaler Use of 13-inch Trailer Tires
Sorry but my math was wrong. I should use 16 as a factor not 8 (eight months, twice a month). So for 14" tires 137,347.2x 2= 274,694.4 less revolutions yearly. 15" tires- 223,956.8x2= 447,913.6 less revolutions yearly. Both seem significant to me especially on bearings.

Re: Boston Whaler Use of 13-inch Trailer Tires
Jimh- I really like your use of facts, can't argue with math so let's look closer. My factory tires are 185/80 R13. Using the tire calculator you have shown us if I go to a comparable 14" tire (205/75 R14) I could turn 45.18 revolutions per mile less than with 13's. If I go to a comparable 15&q...

Boston Whaler Use of 13-inch Trailer Tires
Why does Boston Whaler puts 13-inch wheels and tires under a Montauk 210? Those little tires spin fast on the highway and look like an Elephant on roller skates. Why not use 15-inch wheels? The difference in ride height would seem negligible. ASIDE IN REFERENCE TO SOME OTHER THREAD: Thanks to everyo...

Re: Trailer Tire Wear
Thanks for the info. As I stated in the first post, Karavan replaced the axle. With the new axle I'm getting the same [abnormal tire wear].

Re: Trailer Tire Wear
Thanks for the input. I am baffled because if the left front shows abnormal wear the right front should also. Remember the axle has been replaced and the new one does the same as the old. It has torsion axles so no adjustable spring mounts and it is a tandem trailer.

Trailer Tire Wear
I have a 2016 MONTAUK [of no specified length but later was clarified to be a 210 MONTAUK] with a KARAVAN trailer that was purchased new in 2016. The trailer tire wear has been a problem since day one. The left front tire inside tread wears down in short order, compared to the rest of the tire. Kara...

Referral to Fiberglass Repair in Georgia, Savanah to Brunswick
[Seeks a referral to] a really good fiberglass repair tech in the Savannah-to-Brunswick, Georgia area.
I punched a hole in my Boston Whaler boat above the waterline.
