🚤 Secure Your Boat Wheels: Tie Down Engineering 86079 Marine Spare Hub and Tire Carrier Revealed Review

Although the system didn't work on my boat and I had to return it, the system is well made. If it worked on my boat trailer I would keep it and give it a five star rating.

This arrangement makes it easy to carry around a spare bushing that I'll probably sell on the side of the road to someone who isn't that well trained. I see more trailers being stopped with bad hubs than plates. Buy yourself one!

Bolted it to the tongue of one of my boat trailers to have all the spare parts for bearings, seals, nuts, hubs etc and then bolted mine spare rim and my spare tire onto this hub to also carry my boat trailer's spare tire! Perfect!

The only thing I didn't like was the lack of a locking mechanism to prevent the wheel from spinning. Not so hot what's up. until you try to hold onto the wheel while standing on the trailer. above the water when starting.

Quality product, I have not seen anything like this before.

I use this with the spare tire in the low position to get my boat and trailer off my own concrete boat ramp. that works great! I have a winch that lowers the whole structure into the water and then I throw the boat off the trailer. I had to make a brake for this so I could put the boat back on the trailer but it was pretty easy. It's also great for storing a spare tire, wheel bearing and ready for on-the-go use in an emergency. The metal is painted, not galvanized, my only complaint.

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
