Re: *Warning* Continental Trailers
i guess i should put my experience with torino trailer out there. i got my new double axle trailer and they put the boat on it for me only with WAY too much tongue weight and cut off the rear of the bunks so i cant move the boat back any. thats fine ill fix that when i have the boat in the water for its test. but the real problem is with the axles and u-bolts. the axle is on top of the leaf spring and the plate on the bottom of the spring that the u-bolt tightens to does not have any washers on it just the nuts. well the holes in that plate are almost the same size as the nuts. BIG PROBLEM i turned into the gas station to fill the tank and heard BOOM! and looked in the mirror and the u-bolts had broke off and the axle was free on one side. luckily i work by their shop and went in there kinda angry one day and they replaced the u-bolt. sorry its so long but if that would have happend doing 40+ MPH it would have been bad.
