Barry,

You should carry a spare spring pack, spare bearings, spare trailer tires and a spare hub when trailering a boat down remote baja roads. As well as any spare bolts or rollers the trailer may have.

This small precaution will get you home or at least to the water so you can fish!

OK, so I'm not going out of here with my cheap Pacific trailer:( At least with the boat on it. Ok, again. New axle, extra hubs, better springs with back up & mounting hardware. Probably be easier to run it up on the quad trailer.:o

....that is the exact same trailer I had that disintegrated on me about 3 miles north of Punta Bufeo on the San Felipe to Gonzaga road. Keep a sharp eye on those springs, tho when they break they give no warning that is visible, as far as I could tell.



Sounds like bad karma, Barry.

I carry this guy around on my trailer just to avoid such mishaps.
