Expert Answers about Chevrolet Boat Trailer Wheels


  • Replacement 14 Inch Black Modular Trailer Wheel
  • We classify boat trailer wheels as those that have more corrosive resistance than a standard steel wheel. Primarily aluminum and galvanized wheels. But anything that we call a "boat trailer" wheel can be used on other trailers and a boat trailer can use another wheel. The 14 inch black modular wheel we carry is # AM20315 which has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and is rated up to 2,040 pounds per wheel. It does have an e-coat primer and black powder coat finish which has some resistance...

  • Can I Replace The 13" Wheels On My Boat Trailer With 14" Wheels
  • It depends, you could replace a 13" wheel with a 14" wheel on your 2002 Pro 175 TX boat trailer. You may have to relocate the fenders of your boat trailer in order for the 14" wheels to work in place of the 13" wheels. For example, the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C, part # AM32156, has a an outer diameter of 26.3" with a width of 8.1".

  • Solution to Turn 4-Way Plug on 5th Wheel Into 5-Way Plug to Tow Boat Trailer With Electric Lockout
  • I have a solution for you, but you're not going to use the signals from the brakes. You'll want to use the reverse light circuit and the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036. Boat trailer lockouts are typically tied into the signal from the reverse light, so when the truck gets put in reverse it releases the brakes and allows you to back up. The Tow Ready # 20036 will allow your boat trailer to function in that manner by basically turning your 5th wheel's 4 way plug...

  • How Many Trailer Wheel Locks Need To Be Used On a Boat Trailer?
  • While you only need one of the etrailer Trailer Wheel Locks # 288-02020 to secure your husbands boat and kayak trailer you can use more than one on your trailer. Having more than one wheel lock makes it a harder task for anyone trying to take your trailer. This is especially helpful if your trailer has a spare since they cannot just remove the wheel and tire for the spare. If you want to use more than one we do have the Blaylock EZ Trailer Wheel Locks which are available keyed alike....

  • Recommended Boat Wheel and Tire with 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern
  • The Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM3S130 you were looking at are a great choice for a boat trailer because of the galvanized wheel and durable bias ply tire. These Load Range C tires have a capacity of 1,360-lbs, so you'll want to make sure that your boat and trailer don't weigh more than 2700-lbs. If you have a heavier trailer than that, just let me know what the estimated weight is and I can make an alternate recommendation.

  • Installing A 4-Pole Trailer Harness On The Rear Of A 5th Wheel For Hauling A Boat
  • To install a 4-pole connector at the rear of your 5th wheel, the easiest option would be to tap a 4 pole vehicle end harness like # 18002 into the taillight circuits of the fifth wheel. In most states towing a trailer behind another trailer is illegal in many states, and we do not recommend doing it for safety reasons. You will also need to determine if your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty's tow package has a sufficient rating to handle the draw of the lights on both the fifth wheel plus the...

  • Will BOLT Spare Tire Lock Work on Boat Trailer Spare Tire
  • Technically yes, the BOLT Spare Tire Lock # BL5922986 will lock onto a boat trailer's spare tire and will hold up to possibly being submerged. The problem you will run into is the lock is designed to fit into the recessed well that you won't normally find on trailer wheels. If you use the lock on a wheel where the entire lock is exposed it would be fairly easy for a would-be thief to get to the lug nut and spin it off by hand. A better option for your trailer's spare tire might be the...

  • Placing Boat Bunks for Maximum Contact with Boat with a Ribbed Hull
  • The Roller Bunk # DL21755 measures 3-1/2 inches across the wheels where your boat will be sitting. Also, the wheels pivot to help make contact with the bottom of the boat. Since you currently have vertical bunks you'll need the brackets # DL21762 to connect the bunks to your trailer. This will give you the option of adjusting the height and placement of the bunks which means you can decide where on your boat the wheels will make contact with the boat to put them in the best suitable...

  • Parts Needed to Change Boat Trailer to Allow Using Larger Wheels & Tires
  • In order to see if you can use larger wheels/tires on your pontoon boat trailer you'll need to check a few things. Checking with the trailer maker, using the trailer VIN, is a good idea too. The manufacturer may be able to offer you some guidance specific to your particular trailer. For new larger wheels to fit your existing hubs they must use the same wheel bolt pattern. I linked an article that will help you confirm which bolt pattern your wheels use. New wheels and tires must also be...

  • How to Choose Correct Boat Trailer Fenders
  • I didn't receive any information about your boat trailer, but I can explain how we classify them for you, which hopefully will help you to decide which fenders you want to go with. If you're only looking to replace one fender, unfortunately we have no way of looking up which exact fenders your boat trailer left the factory with. You might need to go with 2 fenders so they'll match. We classify the fenders according to the wheel diameters they're compatible with. For instance, the Fulton #...

  • A non-tapered spindle with a 1.00" diameter will use an # L44643 inner and outer bearing, so you'll want to use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K, which have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern and work with 12" wheels.

  • What Parts Are Needed To Add hydraulic Brakes To Boat Trailer For 2002 Skeeter Bass Boat
  • In order to add brakes to your trailer for your 2002 Skeeter Bass Boat, we will need to know what your trailer currently has. You will need to know the axle weight capacity. There is normally a plate or sticker on the axle that lists the weight capacity. If you are unable to find that, you can get the numbers from the bearing and seal to determine what size axle you have.
