Great vid. Even for guys who wouldn't tackle the job themselves videos like this are really valuable to see what's what's involved when contracting the work out. Knowing myself I would have waited for cooler weather to takle that second axle.
Good job. It works. I am getting ready to do this. I would think the hard board spacers you added would disintegrate over time leaving a gap and possibly make the bolts loose. You might check that. Might be better to use stainless steel or aluminum as a spacer or nothing.

Yeah I would have waited to but I was missing out on fishing opportunities so decided to go for it lol

Good lord bro. Assuming?? Those axles are toast!
Your a better man than I for doing that project in those temps/humidity!
I wouldn’t if I didn’t love fishing 🎣 😂
It's actually Galvanic corrosion (also called bimetallic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion) not electrolysis.
Need to do the same thing on my cats 18 foot float on trailer.
I had the issue as you. Someone told me to put peel and stick tar paper where you put the starboard.
Good job 👏🏻
4 bolts around the frame would not weaken the frame. a few layers of tar paper would stop the corrosion
How’s the starboard holding up? I’m thinking of putting a rubber gasket in between
Seems to be holding up fine so far
Hi... how much weight each axle tolerate? thanks.
Where did you get the axles? I possibly need the exact same it seems
where would i get these axles at what kind are they any help thanks guys
5/16 ???
How much were they because I’m going to have to do the same thing
Use the aluminum spacer so it corroded and not ur trailer
Was it some nylon spacer used here
5/16 = 1" these days
I cant believe there are no brakes on that trailer. Would have been a good time to add at least 1 axle.
It's FL we ain't fighting hills out here! Just don't tail gate anyone and you'll be good.
Always since your trailer off always will last much longer
As bad as you've let your axles get I can see why your not buying new bolts and washers.
