Oh that trailer probably has Vault Hubs you may not have much damage to bearings but have them replaced anyways.

I'm not thinking they'll hold a grudge over a warranty issue. I do however think they might have some negative feelings towards me talking about their poor customer service.

They are a Skeeter dealer. I bought a Skeeter boat regardless what trailer it came on. Looked like from the pic's the wheels and trailer have Skeeter plastered all over it. If I buy a new rig from a dealer I would expect them to stand behind it and make the calls to EZ Loader for me if needed.

I am calling BS on that one, he didnt piece out that boat when he bought it. He bought a Skeeter boat and trailer therefore it's a Skeeter issue. They will fix it but you might have to call the factory to get some action on this issue.

How many titles do you get on a paid off boat? 3 last time I checked. Yes I agree Skeeter dealer should take care of it since its what the boat rides on and what they SOLD. But again my point is just that Skeeter should help with the process if the dealer won't help. But EZ Loader is the manufacturer and where the issue is. Nothing to do with boat. Those wheels are made from some body other than skeeter and installed on the trailer. Skeeter is not in the wheel business. But can help you get a new one if needed. Chances are that wheel will be sent from EZ Loader when Skeeter customer service calls them.

When you buy a new boat and the tire blows out you gonna call Skeeter and say the dealer won't give me a new tire? I would deal with straight with Goodyear. That's just my opinion but I see things different.

I had a Mercury issue under warranty on a blown power head. I called Legend to let them know. They do all they can to help you but in the end it had nothing to do with Legend it had everything to do with the service sales dealership and Mercury. Not the boat manufacture. Take it with a grain of salt if you do not agree.

I'm going back to the dealership tommorow to try and work with the sales manager. I'm hoping he can resolve this issue before I end up destroying something.

The latch is always down, even though it says to be pressed up, it will not stay in the up position. The service manager told me that this is also normal. I am just going off what they have told me at this point. In my opinion this boat is under warranty, I am not going to start making modifications or adjustments to the platform while under this coverage.

good for you! Don't let anyone make you think twice about holding the dealership/skeeter/ezloader etc to the fire. You agave them money for that boat so follow the money trail until you get an answer smile Hopefully its a very simple fix and you can be back on the water enjoying your rig!

The trailers that are under skeeters are JUNK! EZ loader trailer is nothing but a piece of [censored]. Mine the fenders were welded on too close and gave minimal clearance on the boat. 1/2 inch on both sides. Called EZ loader their fix was to send me double bunks to raise the boat on the trailer. Classic Arkansas engineering. Then one of the bolts backed out of the brake caliper and it fell onto the inside of my wheels causing it to crack and break. New brake lines, caliper, brake shoes, wheel and tire. EZ Loader says " that is normal ".

I agree with you that you have a problem with your brakes dragging. But you are going to have a bigger problem getting EZ Loader to fix it.

Like they told me drive to Arkansas and leave it with us and we will take a look at it.

The number for the Skeeter warranty is 903-398-0541 the person has always been helpful. The people at EZ load also have been helpful in the past. Your rotor should never be more than 150. Do you have manual release or electrical.

I have had extremely good Luck with EZ loader customer Service.

The Problem with expecting Dealerships to fix trailer issues is you have MARINE mechanics working on Trailers, which is not their specialty.

Did you just try and bleed the brake system, sounds like you have air in it!
