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.
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 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
