The CE Smith Roller Bunks, #CE27700, that you referenced would be a great option for your boat trailer. These roller bunks are 4 ft long and they can be mounted directly on top of your current wood bunks. You can also use the CE Smith Mounting…

Answer 7

Curt safety cables #C80176 would do fairly well for applications subjected to salt spray since the cables are coated in nylon and the hooks are zinc-coated. They wouldn't be as good as 100% stainless steel, if anyone made any, but they also cost…

Answer 9

The Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables with S-Hooks #C80176 has the weight capacity of 7500 lbs rated on using both safety cables. Individually, they would logically be 1/2 that capacity but using only one cable is not recommended so they are not…

It might seem that the spindle being slightly bent isn't a big deal but it can definitely lead to another blowout so you'll want to replace that spindle with a new one. It looks like you have a straight spindle like the standard BT8 found as…

What you describe isn't normal. Trailer axles are manufactured with a bow or crown in them, a slight arc with the high side on the top of the axle. When the trailer is loaded, the axle will straighten out so the tires make even contact with the…
