Hi and welcome to Ribnet. Thats a bit different Probably not your highest priority at the moment but bet those trailer bearings are the sealed type unfortunately. A good scrub with TFR should bring those tubes up gleaming.

Hi Pete thank you for the welcome. Over a hundred hits and you are the only one to say hello, doesnt bode too well. Anyway TFR what does it stand for and can i get it locally. By the way the boat has a teak deck and yes the trailor wheels are seized.

The only down side i see to the boat is this "steering Wheel". Actualy its the reverse thrust bucket actuator or gear selector.

Don't take it the wrong way, people are pretty friendly here. I'm sure that if you needed help you'd get plenty of replies
