Thread: Check List

Speaking of hub, here is something to check once you're on the road. At the boat launch or somewhere down the road if it's a long trip, touch you hubs with your hand and compare the two sides. They should only be slightly warm. On my last trip, a 4 hour drive, I checked the hubs with a infrared thermometer and one side was 97 and the other 101 degrees. The tires were just a few degrees warmer. One thing that puzzled me was the left side of the trailer and the van tires were 3 or 4 degrees than the trailer and van tires on the right side.
The sum was on the left or cooler side.

Spot on. Good call.
Best post ever.

I think a lot of the difference is due to the outside edge of the road being lower. this shifts the weight to the passanger side, therefore more loading on that side. it changes the center of Gravity

All good pointers! I like check lists, probably an indication of age. lol

Apparently I need to develop a check list.... 😊

No. You're a teacher.

I have my drain plug on a bungee on my transom tie down strap. That way, I at least have the plug in my hand before I launch and so far I have not forgotten to put it in.
