Its not a good trip unless theres a saga mate - bad luck on the trailer - at least you were eating muddies...

Bugger about the trailer. I had a similiar experience with a motorbike trailer years ago. Not cool. At least this happened after you went fishing and before you got out on the highway. That could have been real interesting......

Cheers,

Not wrong that what we thought glad it happen at slow speed and not high

Well starting building hte new trailer tomorrow so all will be good again and going to double up the nuts on the ubolts to make sure it cant happen again only via the ubolt snapping and we pretty sure it wasnt from that just som rust that loosen off the old axle allowed slack and the rest is history

That road is pretty hard on trailers by all accounts - 100km or something of dirt.
Yeh Nip - double up on Nylock nuts. For a new U bolt to break .... something else was going on - movement or over / uneven tightening - cant imagine anything else
Good luck with the new trailer

Personally, I would have had a new trailer also. New boat, new trailer.

Can't understand why anyone would put a new boat on a rusted old trailer.
Doesn't make sense to me.

The reason I said rusted old trailer was because of what you wrote previously Nips

All good jeff it had some but want the issue im just still pissed it happen and wish i had of doubled up the ubolt nuts may have stopped it but i guess i seem to keep learn lessons

That why the name on the boat suits me to a tee the getaway got away again and nearlly didnt come bacl

Bit of a tough trip hey mate. Still those cod and blueys look pretty nice. I'm heading up there for a couple of weeks come the end of next month. Fingers crossed the fish and weather play the game....and the trailer stays in one piece lol
