500 + lbs at the tongue to me is way over what it should be... that would be the problem imo.. I'd contact the dealer you got it from and see what they say...I'd imagine it's under warranty ...
Check the paperwork that came with the boat and trailer when sold new, I doubt it is still under warranty.
Every time I have seen this issue over the years with a custom trailer, it's the axle placement, the tires need to be up sized one inch, or the trailer is overloaded. I remember in one case years ago the springs on the trailer were shot.
Weigh the rig unhitched from the truck to make sure. If the trailer has had the tires/rims replaced, make sure the replacements are the maximum the trailer will accept. When it's bucking, watch the trailer in the rear views, that will tell you a lot about the issue. |
