They are not like a car where they can be aligned easily, so IMO they get them close at the factory but not perfect but it's rare to get a boat trailer that doesn't wear a little unevenly, at least on one side. Instead of replacing it, just take it down to an boat trailer alignment shop and have it aligned. Not all alignment shops do it though because it requires bending the axle.
I bought a used drift boat this spring and have put around 2k miles on the trailer and last week I noticed something odd. Both tires have a section of the tire on the inner half that is wearing different than the rest of the tire. Meaning its more bald
I took it to a shop and they said my axel was bent/twisted due to the boat riding too far back on the trailer causing not enoughweight. So when I was going over bumps and roads the bot wasn't centered over the axel.
I had a buddy say that doesn't sound right. Can anyone confirm if this is a likely cause. Thanks!
