Today we're going to discuss lug nuts. No I do not mean Robalo or Galveston 340.

I mean actual lug nuts. As in boat trailer lug nuts.
Snapped this pic earlier today of a trailer wheel at an un-named boat ramp.

Wanna bet he has fun fun fun changing that tire?

Look closely. Those are giant flakes of rust on the nuts!

Scary!

Get outta my driveway dangit Moonpie!!! Ha Ha.


He's low on axle grease, his rims are trashed and he should prolly inspect his axle and springs-I bet $2 they look like his lug nuts. Rusty nuts are no fun!

BTW, I'm missing a lugnut-anyone got an extra?

Here is a little help for those that have regular lug nuts, not the acorn style, go down to the hardware store with one of your lug nuts in hand, go to the isle that has repair parts for your lawn chair, the ones with the plastic caps for the bottom of the legs, find the ones that fit snug over the lug nut, fill about half way with marine grease & put over your lug nuts after you torque them down, will never have a rust problem with them, been doing that with my trailer for 14 years now & never had a stuck lug nut.

I hate to see what his boat motor looks like! He will be one of the ones that as you are driving down the freeway his axle falls off!

Wow, looks nice. That is a custom job for sure.

Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance! Salt water is hell on steel. Rust never sleeps. This guy will be broke down soon.

This outdoor like is rough!!! All this maintenance and washing down and all !!! Looks like he's overdue for serious breakdown!

[Moonpie]

And to think this guy probably pulls that trailer down the highway at 70mph!
