I purchased this boat and trailer and a cop pulled me over and said, "License and registration please." I provided that and the he said, the reason I pulled you over is your right tire on the trailer is wobbling and I don't want that coming off on the highway and causing all kinds of paper work for me."
Well, maybe he was nicer than that but I like to embellish. Anyway, I checked it out and the bearings and everything is ok but the rim must be bent a tad and there is about a 3/8th inch wobble in the tire because of the rim.
It does not cause any towing problem, the boat and trailer does not wobble, just the tire.
Question: Is this going to cause a problem in the long run or can I just continue along blissfully this way?
Question 2: Is it possible to straighten a rim or will I need a new one?
