Also, it looks in the photos that the rust has actually weakened the bracket and it is bent further down than the other side. That is why the boat is dropped down. You could DIY a fix pretty easy without all the hassle of welding but the boat has to be off the trailer for any of it.

Call Boatmate and see what they say. My friends Craz (2019) was just stranded at Norris. Wheel bearing had failed and took out the hub, 2nd time in 11 months. The brake actuator was found to be bad also on the tongue, and it caused a stuck caliper on the bad bearing side. Boatmate sent a new axle and service tech to swap it in a church parking lot. He had to leave it for the week and then drive back down from Ohio to get it though. They sent a new actuator to his house for hime to change.
My last weekend of the summer because I am currently back in quarantine at the Houston Airport Marriott slated to fly out Sunday to Guyana for 7 weeks for work. We will try to get out a couple more times in october when I get home weather willing.
