Finally managed to splash today (had to re-core the cabin top) and blew out a wheel bearing on my trailer just before the Dollar Bay boat launch. Since we were already at the launch, we decided to get the boat into the water and off the trailer to make things easier to work on.

Trailer is currently stuck off to the side (out of the way) at the Dollar Bay. I have no idea what I need to get / do to fix the wheel bearing and get it home. Was hoping someone would have some advice.

Thanks

Shawn

Thanks to all that responded.

I ended up reaching out to a coworker much more knowledgeable that I and he thought that because of the damage, we should load it on a flat-bead and bring it home. He was concerned that the center shaft may have been damaged as well.

We ended up putting it on a flat-bed trailer (work) and bringing it up to a mechanic I trust that was willing to work on it. Thankfully, he has the rest of the season to dig into it and figure out what the best course of action is.
