Tandem Axle Trailer

[Stratguy]

The rear axle on my pontoon boat trailer has a slight bow in it and it causes the wheels to tilt outward and wear the tires. The front axle is fine. Thought about putting a jack underneath in the middle and seeing if I can reverse the bow and straighten the tires up. The axles are round and cannot be turned. Any ideas anyone?

Re: Tandem Axle Trailer

Sounds like you have overloaded the trailer. Best way I can tell you short of replacing the axle get a good sturdy floor jack, leave the boat on the trailer jack the axle up in the center past where the wheels are straight then let it down, move the trailer a little forward and check the wheels if that didn't do it do the same thing again only this time take a torch and heat it in the middle, let it cool then let it down again. if that dosn't fix it you better start looking for a new axle or a heavier trailer.
