Tire Sheared off Trailer

[madman]

Not sure where to begin......

So I will let the pictures do the talking.

Axle


Where the tire ended


Lug nuts still Attached


Hub still on tire


And where does this get me


Tire takes out the Wakeplate


It was just to bad I had the whole family going to the lake to see what the boat can actually do as I have just finished the break-in.

Not a good way to start out... I don't see a drop of lubricant on there - no grease, oil or anything. I'm wondering if the bearings disintegrated, leaving nothing to hold the hub on.

So sorry this happened to ya.....I hope your dealer takes care of you...and boatmate

A classic no lube on the bearings wot looks like to me

How old is the boat and trailler? I assume new since you stated that you just finished the break in. My last boat had a bad set of axles and one failed. My dealer replaced all 4 since boatmate knew of the issue. Hope you get the same treatment. Bad way to start/end a day.

This is a brand new boat and trailer.
As for no lube I think it burnt away as there is some burn marks on hub.
I talked to the dealer yesterday, Had the trailer towed to there shop and we will go from there. I think all will work out.
I will keep you informed

roasted lube should look like carbon build up.

WOW!

no words... well - "thousands of them" in the pictures.

Keep the faith - Boatmate, SC, and dealer should step up here. This should not happen to a boat this new.


For the rest of us - CHECK THOSE OIL BATH HUBS.
