There is a fairly new ramp (big!) on Shelter Island and a large parking area as well.

Right, weight will make a big difference so does sea state and wind. I gave up on the quest for ultimate fuel consumption efficiency and go for what feels right I often wish I had a 200 though,,,

Thanks Bradmond, I am ordering 2 tubes of the Lucas Marine stuff , It certainly has not been 100,000 miles on the hubs but very close to 6 years so.. lets get pumping! jacking up the axle and rotating the wheel while pumping the grease is the thing to do, did I get that right?

i found some info: https://www.easternmarine.com/1-3-8-x-1 ... -kit-81022 They say !00,000 miles or 6 years for grease replacement, seems pretty high! I had Bearing Buddies on previous triple axle trailer (I also blew a few rear seals), before that one on an older trailer it was the kind...

Anyone has the VORTEX hubs on their trailer? You suppositely pump new grease in a center nipple and old grease comes out of the front perimeter of the hub. You stop pumping when new grease comes out... How often do you replace the grease? How much grease does it take for 4 hubs?

Colby, Looking forward to go fishing together, whenever you are ready! Rob,I should clarify my post. I was not looking for information, I am not driving down the Baja way, i tow straight down from Tucson to San Carlos, Sonora, store the truck and trailer and launch there, cross over to Baja...

Anyone contemplating such a thing this Late Fall/Winter? Alain Provost/Tucson

Happy "Looping" Tom! I've connected with Colby and he shared his head spinning schedule for the Summer with me. Alain

Any dates for 2022 yet?

Colby, I don't think it is typical of 25s Mine steered very hard in one direction when I first got the boat but that was quickly taken care of with a power bleed. Ever since steering with the Seastar is smoothl as silk in both directions. Could it be that it is more challenging to get 100% of...

The ProMariner ProNautic serie would be a good choice.

Colby, I was writing while you posted the above...

Colby, you said: "C-Traveler weight, no fuel or water, no trailer: 5400 lbs". How did you get that number? A crane with a load scale? I was asking Bob what is numbers were to see if the load on his axles was similar or different. I realize that it might fluctuate due to how the boat was...

Bob, could you give me an idea of what that was with your 25?

I have not weighted the boat and trailer, never found a convenient way or time to doit. Getting the boat out and back in is a bit of an undertaking. I think ~ 7,5 K lbs is a fair estimate with little fuel and no water?

Ah! I found something interesting looking at the Carlisle Tires Trailer Tire Service Guide Line, Under an identical chart that the one for Goodyear Endurance there was this paragraph: " The above table DOES NOT endorse the reduction of air pressure. It is to be used as an exampleof the...

Salmon Fisher, I downloaded and printed the Load/Inflation chart and looking at it (first chart up top for ST tires) I get a bit confused. For the ST225/75R15:assuming a total load of 7500 lbs and assuming again it would be equaly distributed on each four wheels, the chart gives me a recomended...

I now have 10 ply rated tires on the trailer, indicated max pressure is 80 psi. What is the consensus on this? Always max pressure no matter what? Season and temperature dependant? Trailer loading dependant? What range to stay between if less than max inflation? I'd like to get started on the...

I know what you mean SJ I went from 12 to 16 to 27 to 37 (15 years worth) and now very happy with 25.

Are you married Bob? :wink:
