Hi All; I'm off soon to pick up M-15 #249, a mere 100 mile hop. I haven't absolutely confirmed the bearing specifications, and hope somebody has it handy from experience. It's surely a 1983 just like the boat. I want to make the trip home on new rolling stock, and have arrangements to get service at the other end, rather than wait until home. Rob and Pete at Trail-Rite were pretty confident it's a one inch straight spindle, using common bearing set 44643,1.98 OD rear seal.. Tires are 12", 5 bolt on 4 1/2, and my new ones are being mounted and balanced. (What a conflicted job making good use of all the tire info out there!) Anyway I decided to use 6 ply US made trailer tires on new galvanized rims. Spring was last week here in Michigan, but I'm confident as usual that it'll be back again soon. Thanks in advance, Ron in Michigan ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
