Isn't that just a stamped steel peace that's slips in from behind the rim
Exactly. Easily replaced. You can take these out and refinish them to a different color which might look nice.Originally Posted by Kyle08

It does suck that there rusting already
I have replaced the chrome colored center that cover the hub. Metal or plastic for less than $8 a wheel. Mine did last 14 yrs though .
Yes, this is an easy fix but it should not be happening on a 2016 model trailer. I wish skeeter would do something about their trailers. I have had several problems with my trailer. I will never own another boat that sits on an EZ loader trailer.
Its not a trailer problem its a wheel and trim issue..You would have this problem with pretty much any trailer..Your wheels are already corroding up pretty good as well. Must be pretty humid and damp were you are..you might be better off without those pieces installed. Those caps may be trapping water and or condensation causing your rust issue. I have a 2010 EZ loader and its been perfect and I have the crappy chrome wheels.
I would really like to see bass boats on aluminum I beam trailers, lighter and they don't freaking rust.

I would not be upset if the rig was 5 years old but 10 months of fresh water use maybe 3x a week seems way too soon...
did use SOS pads and got 95% of spots off...may thin coat with vasoline or wax maybe monthly and see..
anyone knowing exact link to get a better "cap" replacement...PM or post..thanx...

Iam having the same issue, i can text you over pictures if you like. My boat is less then 6 months old. I planned on getting them taken care of, but working on 2 other issues with the boat at the moment.
The trailer for my 2015 TZX 190 has plastic caps. I guess they used cheaper ones on the lower end models. You might try those they are cheap but look nice and won't rust.

The clear coat is lifting off the wheel as well.
my ezloader trailer on my 21i is falling apart. fenders are falling apart, and the frame is cracking where they weld the fender mounts to it. its a shame that they put these trailers under such nice hulls!
MY 20I has been sitting on the afore mentioned EZ Loader for 5 yrs, it's used at least weekly off season,in season
2-3 times if not more weekly, trailer & wheels are still intact. It's used in St. Johns River(brackish h2o),Harris chain, Okeechobee etc. Could being garage kept be a factor?
Never rinsed off just wiped down.
Yep. You are right. Apparently, some have had good luck with EZ Loader trailers, but I have not. I had to put silicon around my tail lights because the holes cut in the trailer were too big. I lost a couple tail lights before i figured out what was goin on. The holes look like a 1st grader was playing with a cutting torch. The tabs that hold the bow roller folded over. You could see a void in the metal where it broke and it had been painted over. I've had trouble with the lights, wiring and brakes. The trailer makes a LOT of noise anytime you are slowly going forward, backwards or turning.
I've had a lot of trailers, but none have been as junky as this EZ Loader.
My rig i kept in a 2/3 enclosed car port...so it gets a lot of air ...probably just eyeball the hub covers after every couple of launches and re-apply gasoline after any SOS pad removal of any new rust patches...see how it goes a couple months...
BUT if anyone on BBC can post the exact link to get better "covers"....do so for all of us...
BTW, with excess EZ Loader issues it is best to send them to BOTH EZ and Skeeter who has the contract with them...
thanx and all limits to you in 2017!!!

looks like lot of sand/gravel blast pitting the chrome off
The hub rust is minor, IMO.
The clear coat lifting on the alloy wheels is a sorry mess. We get that around here if the coating gets slightly damaged, and the wheel is exposed to salt water. The salt works it's way between the metal and the clear coat and eats the aluminum away.
