In order to determine if the rating is safe you need to know the weight of the boat as well as the trailer. If you have wheels with a capacity of 1,800 lbs per wheel that means you do not want to exceed 3,600 lbs assuming your boat trailer has two wheels. Since you know the loaded weight of your boat is 2,600 lbs you have nothing to worry about as long as your trailer does not weight more than 1,000 lbs. It would also be a good idea to make sure that your wheel and tire are rated for at... view full answer...
I spoke to the trailer specialist at Ranger Boats and the trailer supplied with their RT178 bass boat usually is fitted with 13-inch wheels that have the popular 5-on-4-1/2 wheel bolt pattern and a wheel pilot hole diameter of 3.19-inches as with the Hi-Spec # AM22323HWTB
. He was not able to confirm the hub bore diameter which is where a grease cap or Bearing Buddy would install but the most common size is 1.98-inches.
He said that since it is possible that a local dealer may change... view full answer...
I walked out to our warehouse and measured the inside diameter of Removable Wheel with Pin, part # DL22539 and it measured 2 inches. Part # DL22539, will fit a shaft with diameter of 2 inches.
Yes, you will be able to drill out a hole for the pin of part # DL22539 to fit the shaft of the jack on your 1981 Boat Trailer, if there is not a hole already there. view full answer...
You didn't mention what wheel size you have, but the only option we have for stainless steel boat trailer fenders for a tandem axle trailer are for 14 inch wheels. So if your wheels are that size, here are the options, and I'll list the dimensions as well.
- 65" long x 9" wide x 15" tall: Tandem Axle Teardrop Trailer Fenders for Boat Trailers - Stainless Steel # HP34VR
- 68" long x 9" wide x 15" tall: Tandem Axle Trailer Fender - Stainless Steel # HP88VR view full answer...
A trailer tire that is 215/75-14, will actually fit a range of wheel widths. It will fit a 5-1/2, 6, 6-1/2, and 7 inch wide wheel. Since the tire is designed to fit this range, including the 5-1/2 inch wide wheel that comes with Tire and Wheel Combo, # AM32195, it will be safe. The tire and wheel combo you have referenced, # LH84VR, is a 205/75-14 size.
The tire has a capacity of 1,870 pounds at 50 psi. To reach 8,000 pounds, you would need 6 of these tires and wheels. If your boat trailer... view full answer...
The Wheel Dolly # PTW54013 that you referenced would work for your tandem axle pontoon boat trailer but only if they trailer was under the weight capacity of the dollies. These are rated for 1,000 lbs per dolly so with a total of 4 of these your boat and trailer would need to weigh under 4,000 lbs. view full answer...
Yes, the Steel Directional Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Chrome Finish Item # AM48VR you were looking at would be capable of supporting your 4500 lbs trailer. Each wheel has a 1,660 lbs capacity which would put you well over 4,500 lbs on a tandem axle trailer.
I recommend the Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D item # AM10210. These tires are constructed of double steel belts and full nylon plies. They fit 13" wheels and have a maximum load capacity... view full answer...
There are multiple years of this boat, and I'm not sure what trailer you have, but so long as your 5th wheel trailer's bumper is rated to tow for at least the amount of combined weight of your Nitro and trailer, and so long as that boat and trailer is no more than 3,500 lbs with a 350 lb tongue weight it can be towed with the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100. view full answer...
All of the 14 inch Wheel and Tire combos we offer are for wheels with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt patterns.
To determine the bolt pattern on your existing wheels, simply measure from the CENTER of one bolt hole to the CENTER of the adjacent bolt hole. If this distance is 2-5/8 inches, you have a wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If the distance is 2-3/4 inches, then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4.

The CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer w/ Bunks - 12" Wheels # CE48870 should have no problem holding your Starcraft boat. This trailer is designed for boats up to 14' long like yours and can handle 800 lbs which should be more than enough.
The fenders and frame are both made of galvanized steel for resistance to rust and corrosion.
I have attached a video review for your reference. view full answer...
Since your clearance issue is not so much with your trailer as with your pontoon boat's skegs, the better solution is to install taller bunk brackets to lift the height of the boat on the trailer, rather than lifting the trailer higher off the ground. Keep in mind that a tire would have to be 3-inches taller overall to give you 1-1/2-inches more height. A tire that much larger would probably create a new problem with fender or wheel well clearance.

Before installing wider tires and wheels on your trailer, you will want to make sure you have enough space to go to a wider tire and wheel. If you went to an 8 inch wide tire and wheel like the Kenda Tire and Wheel Combo, # AM3H390, the overall diameter will be the same, but the tire will sit approximately 2 inches closer to the trailer frame than your 4.80-12 tires. You will want to make sure you have enough room between the inside wall of your tires and trailer frame for a wider tire.

That depends on the weight of your boat and trailer when it's loaded but I'm thinking you'll probably be just fine. An 18 foot boat probably weighs around 3,000 pounds or so and the # AM32195 tire and wheel combo has a capacity of 1,870 pounds per tire.
Ultimately you need to know how heavy the boat and trailer are together. As long as they're less than the capacity of the tires, 3,740 pounds for the pair, then these are great for you. view full answer...
It all depends on what the weight rating is for your tires/wheels. For example, the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H490 has a load range of E (1,650 lbs at 90 psi) which means that altogether the rating is 3,300 lbs and should be okay for your application.
You also need to make sure that your axle and suspension is rated high enough for the weight of your pontoon. You can find the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of your boat trailer stamped on the frame... view full answer...
When the Stallion Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 is completely closed the opening only measures about 1-3/4" so it will work perfect for your application. view full answer...

The trailer jack is responsible for supporting just the tongue weight of the trailer, which is typically around 10 to 15 percent of its total weight. A 6,200 lbs trailer would have a tongue weight between 620 and 930 lbs. The Dutton-Lainson Pull Pin, Easy Swivel Trailer Jack with 6" Wheel item # DL22560 would be a perfect jack for your boat trailer. view full answer...
A 4.80-12 Wheel/Tire combo like # AM30580 would provide a 4.80-12 Load Range B tire on a 12x4 white spoke wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The tire has a 785 lb per tire/1570 per axle capacity. If the fully loaded weight of your trailer is under 1570 lbs, you'll be fine with a load range B tire.
This being said, the price differential between the Load Range B # AM30580 and the Load Range C # AM30660 is miniscule. The load range C would offer a 990 lb per tire/1980 lb per axle... view full answer...
Since there is a total of 4 wheels on your trailer you will need to add up the weight of your boat and trailer and then divide that number by 4 to determine what weight capacity tire you should get.
