Are There 1/2" Wet Bolts for an EZ Loader Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 1998-99 ezloader Triton bass boat trailer I’m wanting to put a wet bolt kit on. Are my bolts 1/2” where the new ones are 9/16”? Can you recommend a wet bolt kit that will fit? Thanks

The standard size of eye bolt for a trailer is 9/16". This is only 1/16" of an larger than what you said you have, 1/2" so there could be an error in measuring or this could also be a very oddball application. That said, if the leaf springs (with bushing removed) have an inner diameter of 11/16" it does not matter what size bolts you have and can upgrade to the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers part # K71-359-00.

However, we don't offer 1/2" wet bolts.

Yes, axle spread and wheel base by definition are the same measurements. You will measure from the center of one axle to the center of the 2nd axle to determine what you axle spread is. This may be difficult as some wheels and covers will make this…

Answer 11

I contacted MORryde and this does happen from time to time as the weight of the trailer can spread out the axles due to downward pressure on the springs/suspension. Odds are the 35" wheel base #MR27ZR will be the correct one for you, but they…
