Just bought a boat and noticed the old leaf springs/u-bolts and associated hardware were a bit rusty and worn out. Decided to go about replacing them just to be prevantative, plus the clearance between the tires and fenders was about 1/4 of an inch which I thought was a bit low
What I have noticed is that, the axle seat (I believe thats what they are called), there is a link below to the part was not welded to the axle. Now these are drop axles, so I'm not sure if this is how its supposed to be, possibly gravity will hold them on there.
Just validating if the axle seat should be welded to the axle.. If anyone possibly knows..
