Ok,
Next step on the trailer is new springs, rims and tires.
Got the parts today.
Springs measure up good, slipper style.

The hangers are welded and take 1/2 bolts.
The new springs take 9/16 bolts. Have to drill out the hangers.

Also, the hole that received the center bolt of the spring pack is too small on the axle. I'll have to drill that out too and/or grind the tops of the hex bolt to fit the hole in the axle and set the spring flat against axle.

Few things go as smoothly as the videos lol

Scheduled to Splash this boat for the 1st time Sunday, weather cooperating.
