Nothing new on the boat other than a good waxing. I did however replace the trailer’s wheel bearings, races and seals. I went to my local Napa dealer for 1- 1/16 “bearings. I wanted the pack that comes with everything . They had (2) versions to choose from. One was considered light duty which was rated up to 3000 pounds. Never knew this existed. The other was twice as much and had no rating. Well I did the math and decided even with a safety factor added in, I wasn’t over 3000 pounds. I decided a lesser grade bearing was not worth the risk and spent the extra money.
