Review on ๐Ÿšค Secure Your Boat Wheels: Tie Down Engineering 86079 Marine Spare Hub and Tire Carrier Revealed by Austin Olson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good product for the money but BE CAREFUL - the wheel will not spin.

I installed a third wheel on my jet ski trailer so I can manually roll the trailer back into the surf at the beach. I had to play around with the mounting schemes because I didn't want the wheel to hit the ground during normal transportation. So, I've got a two-bolt wonder, but that's good enough for beach work. 3 stars for tightening the bearing nut so tight that the wheel wouldn't spin. Nobody should send a trailer wheel from the factory that doesn't spin. I had to open the hub and loosen the nut to get the wheel spinning or it would be useless. If someone uses it as a trailer wheel during transportation, it will overheat and likely set the tire on fire.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires electrical outlet
