    Trailer problems

    I've seen it here before but can't find it. Loaded the boat and pulled out and the front axle was high, wheel not touching. Should I flip the axle on front or the rear. I done the front and it does not look right. It appears it has the trailer higher than it was. It was a bad ramp with lots of bouncing, don't know if it happened loaded or unloaded. I guess it does not hurt to tow home this way ??

    When mine has done that, on a steep ramp with a lip at the top. Mine has only did it when the boat was off the trailer. The axle would go back to normal with the weight of the boat on it while pulling out.
    Which axle is it? The axle that has the dog bone hitting the leaf spring needs to be pried down.

    Re: Trailer problems (JAZII)

    I though it was the front so I towed it home like it was and flipped the shackle around when i got home but it did not look right So I looked at a drawing of a tandem axle trailer and seen it was different than what I had so I looked at the pic's in the gambler owners post and could see it was wrong. I flipped everything around last night and hope it's ready to go. First time I have used a bad ramp since I bought this boat.When I put the trailer in it was bad unlevel to one side and pulled it out and went down the middle of the ramp to get a better spot to load and that is probably when it happened. I know now to ease it in and maybe it won't happen again there.
