Well my 15 year old torsion trailer axle stays completely compressed and is not absorbing any of the bumps in the road. Pulling this boat on Louisiana roads makes for a bumpy ride.

My question is, what # torsion trailer axle do i need. The trailer is aluminum. the Boat is a 2005 17' Man-O-War skiff with a 90 2 stroke. its a pretty light weight boat. Im thinking i would need the same # axle as any other 17' poling skiff.

Just contact Ramlin and ask them.

I would think any trailer shop could help you out.

My guess would be 1,500

That boat looks sharp!! What type of prop do you have on the Minn Kota?

Its a prop off of a 3 HP outboard. I fish by myself alot in some very shallow water and the stock prop is 10.5" in diameter. this prop is around 7" in diameter. This allows me to T-motor in alot more places.

One my favorite skiff all time, never found one available when looking.

Could you just weigh it? Drive to a dump or something, weigh the whole rig, drop the trailer and boat off and come back and weigh the truck?

Different issue but great information in this thread on axle sizes.

One way of verifying is check your bearing combo inner/outer. And also by bolt pattern usually you wont find anything over 3500lb in a single axle trailer. One thing to keep in mind if going torsion is the starting angle of the axle. Think of a clock. 3 oclock or 9 would be level with the tube
