The left side wheel looks noticeably farther forward inside the fender compared to the right. I can’t see anything off with the axle, or any other components and it performs perfectly, it just seems a bit off.

Anyone using them as step to get in the boat?

just seems a bit off.

Then move it back a little bit. If you don't have any weird wear patterns on your tires I wouldn't stress too much about it. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to center the wheels inside the fenders if it bothers you.

How is it a few minute job?

I’ve recently seen the same thing on a HB trailer under a 2002 Whipray 17.8. Torsion axles do that affer they get a little relaxed. Slot the holes and move the axle or get smaller tires.

Maybe the fenders are out of round. If all else measures square on the trailer.

Just like all honey do's

From the picture. Little blurry, but left one looks oddly shaped. Sell that boat cheap and quick before the next rain.

The only adjustment that I see is in image 1. It seems to only be slotted inside and out not front to back. I haven’t jacked it up and got into yet, I was just curious if it was a common thing. My Lostmen Ramlin sat pretty even, or at least I never noticed if it didn’t.

It was supposed to be a joke. He's going to have to slot the holes on the fender mounts or find an axle that fits.

Whats your dad think?

Whats your dad think?

I don’t want to ask him. When he bought it he said maintenance was my responsibility.

 

[topnative2]

It is a torsion axle correct?

Axle miss aligned...wear pattern?

I think you may have the wrong hub set up...if it is low like it looks

Who makes the trailer?

Call them.

If it performs perfectly, why do you want to mess with it?

Torsion arms could be starting to slip which can push the tires forward and up into the fender. Similar issue on my 10 yr old ramlin hb trailer. But as others have said call ramlin with pics and trailer vin.

I pulled both wheels off tonight and pulled several measurements, everything is within an 1/8” or closer. Tires are wearing even with no visible issues. I did notice some tire marks on the inside of the fender so I guess it’s NOT performing perfectly and needs to be addressed. Torsion arms looked good on each side. Tried to reach someone today at Ram-Lin with no luck so I left a message. Currently stumped.

I BUILD TRAILERS, IF IT'S TRAILING GREAT AS YOU SAY, MOVE THE FENDER. SOMEONE GOT IT OFF WHEN THEY INSTALLED THE FENDER.

Took it to a couple shops here in town. One says the arms are worn out the other says the spindle is bent. Called Ram-Lin and spoke with Tito (great guy to deal with). Ended up going with a new 10 degree down axle to accommodate the 14" tires. Placing a straight edge of the bulge of the left tire and measuring the front and rear to the adjacent frame rail, the front of the tire measures an inch closer than the rear. Right side tire is under a 1/4 inch in difference. He did tell me Ram-Lin is now putting 1900# axles under the Waterman instead of the previous 1500#. I hope his resolves the issue and squares everything up. Thanks for all the input.
