I wen't to my warehouse to see if I could scrounge up some antique

looked and yep, flat tire. Good looking tires on it too, but...


I haven't investigated why it went flat, but I'll probably get a new
tire anyhow.


But I just did some thinking that when I pull the tire it's a good
time to check wheel berings. I haven't done that in a couple years
because I only went out on the boat a couple times. *But I figure that
being dunked twice, no... three times and sitting the rest, there
still could have been some water get in the seals and something might
be starting to rust.


Sounds like a good saturday project.


Lucky you only have 2 tires ( guessing)....there's four on mine.


Just two on that one, I've got four on the 23 ft'r though, and though
6 ply, they are weather cracked. . I'll deffinately need to change
them and check the wheel bearings and surge brakes on that one before
it gets taken out to the lake.
