Spare tires and lugnuts.

Recently I retrived our 16 Cruiser from winter storage, and during the pre launch checkout, happened to check the spare tire pressure which I found to be zero. Eventually we found some foreign material under the bead. That fix solved the problem. In the course of removing the tire from the carrier I found that it was retained with 13/16 nuts, and I didn't have that socket in my truck tool box. We bought this boat last August and used it numerous times before the snow started to fly. Moral of story is that if I would have had any tire trouble, I would have more trouble. We changed trailers last year when went from a 22 Cruiser to the 16, and I have learned all E-Z Loaders are not same and my tools for the big trailer will not work on the small one. So, if you make changes, take a look and make sure you have the tools you need and that your jack will work on the current trailer. Happy motoring to the launch!
Cheers
 
A four way lug wrench is a handy piece to have along especially if some tool blasted on your lugnuts with an air impact wrench while he was humming she'll be come around the mountain when she comes. 13/16 deep well is a standard spark plug type socket I think also handy to have along.
