What causes a boat trailer tires to lock up?
Former Trailer

When traveling back from a fishing trip carrying my boat on it's trailer, the trailer's tires locked up. What a hassel. I had to find a Marina nearby and rent a slip for my boat!! If you can help to let me know what caused the tires on the trailer to lock up. Thank you. Rosemaw


If your traile has brakes and both or all four wheels locked up chances are it is not a wheel bearing problem rather a brake problem. Your surge brake actuator (The master cyl. on the trailer tongue) is stuck on. Try loosten one of the brake lines, and if fluid comes out under pressure and the wheels unlock that's your problem

Does anyone know a good place to buy radial tires and aluminum wheels for my boat trailer?
Trailer tires

I have a 20 ft Allison race boat and just was wondering if anyone had any luck with buying trailer tires and aluminum wheels online, or did you find a better deal elsewhere (and if so, where?) I'm tight on money! They are size ST225/75R15
Hey guys, the best deal I could find was $146.79 per trailer tire wheel combo. @ http://www.trailertirestore.com. Thanks for the answers!


Is the boat heavy ? (3000 lbs ) car tires will not hold up. sidewalls are not strong enough. Make sure they are trailer tires

How do you change a tire on a boat trailer with tires that have the bearing assembly in them?
Dania Boot installed

I need to take the bearing nut and cotter pin out just to take the tire off. My spare doesn't have the bearing assembly in it. What do I do? Buy a new bearing assembly for the spare?


Take the whole assembly off and switch over to "Bearing Buddies" then use regular wheels and tires.

Anyone know the best place to get advice about boat trailer tires? I have searched online and come across the website below but I need to talk to someone "in the know" or at least someone who has purchased some before:

http://www.boattrailertires.us

I guess I am looking for a retail chain. Anyone got any suggestions?


Try your local marine dealer. They have the most experience and can give you good advise on size and load ratings for your particular boat. I worked for a dealer that sold 800 plus trailers a year, for many different size boats. You local Sears or Walmart can sell you ones like you have, but if you need advice go to a marine dealer. Good Luck!

  • How to Patch Boat Trailer Tires | DoItYourself.com

    Step 1 – Securing the Trailer

    Position the jack at the middle of the trailer. Use your jack to raise the trailer. Place the jack stand under the trailer, to keep it in its raised position.

    Step 2 – Removing the Tire

    Use the lug wrench to loosen and remove the lugs from the damaged tire. Remove the tire from the wheel. Press on the valve in order to deflate the tire. Use the pry bar to detach the tire bead from the rim of the wheel.

    Step 3 – Repairing the Tire

    Inspect the damaged tire. Check for any punctures or holes. Use your patch kit to seal any holes or punctures that are less than ¼ of an inch in diameter. Read the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the patch kit before you begin.
