Heading down after work on a saturday about 10pm to go do some springer fishing we lost a wheel doing about 70 on the I-5 on the left side of the boat trailer. Walked up and down the fwy to try to find the wheel but came up empty. Got a room for the night and tried again in the morning. Back tracked the route and found the wheel about 1.5 miles above where we left the boat. Stop by the local napa to get some bearings,seals ect. Said ther was nothing they could do? Ran across a trailer place that had the stuff in stock. Bought all needed parts and returned to the boat. apx 1.5 feet away from the white line I jack up the boat and find the leaf springs falling off. ok back to trailer place for u-bolts, pads, ect. Get it all back together with just enough time to fish for the afternoon. Hit the first spot and it was dead. decided we would pick up and move. As were heading up river the main motor starts to make some funny noise and then quits. After taking a closer look at this NEW power head that only had one hour on it over breaking in period found that the thing had froze. I'm pretty well po'ed at this point. Thank god we were close to the launch. I'll just run in on the kicker motor. First pull it starts! Then it dies? Go to pull it again and the rope breaks of in my hand. atleast it had a wrap around section on the top that you can use. We did make it back to the launch and straight to the bar. It didn't hurt as bad a few shoots later beer
