I have a stock H26 galvanized trailer with an extending tongue for my 1996 H26. I find that when towing, the trailer bounces and seems to go into a resonance above 90kph. (50mph). I have had the wheels balanced in the past and it didn't really go away. The same resonance occurs when the trailer is unloaded but just with a bit less energy. I noticed that there seems to be some (1/2 - 3/4 inch?) up/down play in the tongue extension and am considering thru-bolting the extension since I never use it nor can I since PO removed the flexible brake line piece.
The boat is normally strapped down tight on to the front bumper stop with the winch strap and I place a 2 inch strap over the stern to keep it bouncing or shifting on the trailer.
Does anyone else have these issues or have they bolted the extension tongue?
Just noticed this year that the inside edge of the leading tires are badly worn. The tires are six years old and probably have seen 10 - 15k kms in total. Is this normal. The tires on the trailing axle look almost new.
