I am thinking my trailer may too light a capacity for my boat. My boat is a 19' I/O and although the capacity tag is unreadable, I believe it is about 2000lbs.
The trailer is an EZ-Loader roller that is a 1990's model that I bought a couple of years ago but any tags have faded so I am not sure what the capacity is.
The boat fits fine on the trailer but I just noticed the inside of both tires are very worn which I read is an indication that the boat is too heavy for the trailer and the axle is sagging.
I am probably going to replace the axle with a larger capacity one rather than get a new trailer. I think the existing axle is a 2000# axle but how can I be sure what the axle capacity is? It's 2" x 2" galvanized and both the 2000# and 3500# axles come in that size.
