Hey guys,
I have an odd situation here. I have a home made heavy duty trailer that only needs to carry a Jon boat, but was made to carry a fiber glass boat. Of course the Jon boat only weighs around 190 lbs, vs the fiber glass boat the trailer was made for.
To be on the safe side I aired up the trailer tires up to the max 35 psi specified on the trailer tires and then took it to the lake. Lets just say that the trailer literally "JUMPED" every time I hit a bump, was not fun. I am guessing since the trailer is not even close to loaded up with it's maximum load I might need to lower the pressure. Before the pressure was on 20 and I never noticed the trailer "Bouncing" all over the place. It was pretty jarring.
What do you guys recommend, I want to get a good balance of smooth ride and not over heating the tires? Should I lower the pressure back down to 20 - 25 range?
