Saturday I pulled my 8m old tires off my boat trailer to check hubs and add grease to the zerks...I run them at 50psi....
Found a linear bulge on one tire on the inside wall going from the wheel rim out to the tread. Took it back to the tire shop and they said it was a manufacturing defect where the belt was joined had begun to separate. Not safe, had to buy a new tire, as the shop would not credit me for the tire until the manufacturer credited them back first.
Found the slow leak in the other tire I bought from them 8m ago when I had the wheel off and in a water bath... leaky valve stem. They replaced that for free.
Then Sunday the motor quit peeing. Impeller 8m old, shouldn't be that. disassembled all the tubes coming out of the engine to the pisser and found a large piece of sand blocking it.
Oh, also lost power to driver side marker light and running light. New wiring harness I installed 8m ago. Found where the marker light wire corroded and broke, guess I didn't get enough goop to keep saltwater out of the wire splicer.
Neverending with a boat....
