The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" White Spoke Wheel part # AM32161 can be used on a boat trailer. That said, it does not offer as much corrosion protection as a galvanized or aluminum wheel would. In all honesty, this isn't much of an issue with freshwater applications but if you were using the trailer in saltwater, I would recommend one of the latter or hosing the trailer and wheels down after each use. view full answer...
If I am understanding you correctly your 5th wheel has a 4-way harness at the rear of it and then your boat trailer has a 5-way. These two connectors can mate together directly without issue aside from 5th circuit not being active.
If you need the 5th circuit active you could use a 4-way to 7-way adapter part # 37185 at the rear of the fifth wheel with the purple wire ran to the reverse light circuit of the 5th way and then you could connect to the boat trailer after removing it's 5-way... view full answer...
The # AM32161 and # AM32153 have powder coated steel wheels which is why they aren't recommended for a boat trailer. Since you're going to be using the trailer for fresh water and not salt water they wouldn't be as susceptible to corrosion, but it still poses a problem. The powder coat will suffer from chips and cracks over time, which will allow water to seep in through the imperfections causing them to rust.
At the very least I would choose the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire... view full answer...
If you have 8" diameter wheels on your boat trailer with 1/2" lug studs then I can confirm that the lug nut torque specification will be from 75-85 ft.-lb. Since your lug nuts must be torqued regularly, it is a good idea to keep a torque wrench on hand as opposed to just renting one each time so if you don't have one, I recommend the Powerbuilt Beam-Type Torque Wrench part # ALL644044. We also have the lug nuts you need as well, part # CE11051 which are zinc plated so they will be best... view full answer...
If the wheels on your boat trailer are galvanized and are not bent, and seem to be in good condition, you could be having problems with the finish of your wheels. Since the finish of a galvanized wheel is done by applying zinc to the wheel through an electrical charge, you could have a wheel that might not have the zinc applied evenly. This could cause the wheel to have heavy spots. It is not a common problem with a good, quality galvanized wheel.

The further forward on a trailer the less weight there is. If at all possible, move the Trailer Valet, # STC-V211, as far forward as you can on either side. The OCD in me wants to say put it on the opposite side as the regular jack.
A boat trailer usually has lower tongue weight than a regular trailer because the motor on the back of the boat is weighing it down on that end. That should keep you within the tongue weight capacity of the Trailer Valet, which is 500 pounds.

A 13 inch trailer wheel is likely going to use 1/2 inch lug nuts. The torque spec is the same for a 13 inch wheel whether it is steel or an alloy wheel; 75 to 85 foot pounds. I have included a picture with a handy chart with torque values for you as well.
If you need a torque wrench for this and future projects I recommend # ALL944001 which has 3/8 and 1/2 inch drives. view full answer...
Our trailer wheel and tire combos, such as Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Vesper Silver Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LRD # TA86MR4, do not come already balanced and we do not offer this service. Most people find that it is not necessary to balance boat trailer wheels, but you could certainly bring them into a local tire shop to have that service done. view full answer...
The FloTool Wheel Chock and Jack Stand # FT11933MI that you referenced is designed for exactly what you are looking to do. You can put the jack foot or wheel on the center of the stand and then jack the trailer up. It would give you additional height for your jack to get the nose up higher as well.
If your driveway is sloped you would want to be sure to check the wheels of your trailer with an additional one of these. You could be in your boat with this under the jack but be sure not to... view full answer...
Even though a passenger tire might fit a trailer, it is definitely not the correct equipment to use on your trailer.
Passenger tires have sidewalls that are a little more flexible than trailer tires because they have to account for the passengers in the vehicle. Since there should never be a passenger in a trailer, trailer tire manufacturers build there tires with stiffer sidewalls to better handle the heavy loads that are put into trailers. Because of this you will want to use trailer... view full answer...
The Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk - 5' Long Sections # DL21741 are a great option to make loading and launching your boat easier. You will want to remove the bunk boards for the installation or at the very least add some spacers ad the wheels are taller on the top and bottom of the bunk boards so installing them directly on the bunks would need the wheels from rotating.
Most installations use the Boat Trailer Roller Bunk Bracket for Dutton-Lainson Roller Bunks # DL21742... view full answer...
I have attached a chart for you to take a look at that includes the lug nut torque specifications. If your wheel uses 1/2 inch lug nuts or wheel bolts like the 12 Inch Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20124 referenced in your question, you will torque them to 75-85 foot pounds.
If you have different size lug nuts, then you will just follow the specifications included in the chart for that size on a 12 inch wheel. view full answer...
The Race Ramps Racer Chock # RR-RC-5 can be used for your front or your rear wheels depending on what works best for your application, but these have a 1,500 lb weight capacity so they wouldn't be the best choice for launching your boat.
Instead I recommend using the Race Ramps Wheel Chocks # RR-WC. These are a little bigger and I confirmed with my contact at Race Ramps that when they are used for what you are talking about they can support about 20,000 lbs. view full answer...
As long as your tow vehicle can handle the additional amperage draw of supporting the additional trailer lights of your second trailer you can certainly add a 4-way to the back of your 2010 Crossroads Cruiser 5th Wheel. The best solution is to use Bonded 4-wire # 16-4B-1 , which is sold by the foot and the Tekonsha 4 Pole Hardwire Kit # 18252 . You will need to splice the bonded wire into the wiring on your 5th wheel's 7 way connector and then run enough of the bonded wire to the back of... view full answer...
I contacted Trailer Valet on your behalf and you are right to question if the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly # TVXL25 will work here. With a towing weight of 3,250 lbs, the Trailer Valet 5X Swivel Jack and Trailer Mover # STC-V211 is preferred. The 5X comes with a mounting bracket to be attached on the side of your frame. With a heavy motor on the back of the boat, your trailer weight is not distributed evenly, and results in losing tongue weight. The mounting bracket gives you the... view full answer...
It sounds like you have something like the Amber Lens # MCL0032ABB at the front and the Red Lens # MCL0032RBB at the back of your fenders.
Normally these lights are designed to switch on and off with your headlights since they are for clearance purposes. Some trailers may be a bit more fancy and have amber lights that act as both running lights and turn signals but for a boat trailer your amber lights would more likely than not be on the same circuit as your running lights so it sounds... view full answer...
The Ultra-Fab Deluxe Electric Landing Gear Set - 38" Lift - 12,000 lbs # UF17-943010 is not designed for boat trailers, but will easily do the job. Unfortunately, the jack will pull too much power for your trailer connector to be utilized without overloading your vehicle wiring. I recommend using a second battery preferably a deep cycle battery for this application like you would use for a 5th wheel or travel trailer for proper operation of this landing gear. view full answer...
Generally the best way to find out which brakes you need is by measuring the inside dimensions of the drum, but you can also usually determine this by your wheel size. Your best bet is to take a wheel off the trailer and pull the drum off to determine which brakes are going to work best for you. view full answer...

There isn't a torque spec for a spindle castle nut like part # 165931. The castle nut will need to be tightened until there is no side to side play with the hub and then backed off a quarter of a turn or until the cotter pin or retainer clip lines up. There is not a specific value for this. view full answer...
