Thanks for all the replies.
My Rhodes 22 is a 1990 model.
The trailer is a 2008 Triad Trailer.
Wheel bearings. I'm a retired automotive mechanic and “name brand”
bearings/races usually have a number etched on them. I could just barely
make out “China” on these, no numbers. I went to Bearing Service, a local
business that specializes in bearings & races and seals. These are the
Timken numbers for the bearings.
Outer wheel bearing 15123 race 15245 1 ¼” shaft
Inner wheel bearing 25580 race 25520 1 ¾” shaft
Seal 22558
The chrome stub on the starboard side I think might be for a grill. There
is no matching stub on the port side. I have a bimini and it doesn’t attach
to this part.
“Hat shaped brackets” at both sides of the rear of the trailer, I don’t
think they are for jacking the trailer or are a point to attach a mast
raising device. On the left side forward of this bracket is a jack. This
keeps the boat from tipping backwards when entering the boat. I have a 2”
diameter 5 foot long pole with a winch on one end that came with the boat.
Looks like it attaches to the bow for raising the mast.
The tag on the axle says: “Tie Down Engineering Max Cap 5,200". I guess
that means the axle is rated to carry 5,200 lbs.
I live in Howell MI, about an hour/60 miles west of Lake St. Clair and
Detroit Michigan. For local sailing I will sail on Lake St. Clair, Detroit
River, and Lake Erie. For longer destinations I will trailer it to the
Canadian North Channel, the area north of Manitoulin Island Canada.
