3 Bearings, 72 hours, No Joke!!!

Thanks Sydwayz! Very helpful... sounds like you've gone through a lot of this.
I didn't realize Manning was closeby (20 minutes from home). I will give them a call. Definitely makes sense to buy axles from a company that gets them by the truckload.
Did most of the 33AT's go triple axle then? I am definitely a fan of tandems due to reduced tire wear. Triples just seem to hate tight turns (or any right turn for that matter).

I had tandem myco on my formula 311 and loved it. 6k pound axles with 8 lug hubs. I knew guys with 292s and 303s with triple axle. I would love to get a nice myco steel under my Donzi. Loading is a pita right now. I added to 8 foot 2X6s and that still isn't enough. Adding a Y bow stop as we speak to take the load off that rubber roller, then probably add more bunks in rear to help it seat when I pull it out of the water.

Towed up to Erie Sunday without a problem
towed back without a problem
boat ran good had a great time ate some good food love it up there. Didn't want to come home and probably waited to long to leave we were chasing a storm back to the launch. Made it back as the wind picked up had to wait out some heavy stuff but it was definitely interesting.

I thought of you when I couldn't figure out how to flip it.
Oh and as for the AC, I bought a new pressure switch and the unit fired up at home, took it to the lake and it ran for about 5 mins then went right back to HPF, pulled the water line near the unit dry as a bone. Motors were to hot to get near the strainer so after about a hour of just hanging out I fired it up again ran out to check water flow, it squirted a few drops and then BAM, water flow AC ran fine all night, must needed to prime the line first.

I buy the inline check valve that prevents the water in the cooling line from reversing through the sea cock when I lift out......lift or trailer. It's cheap, plastic and functional. When I drop in, ac is good to go......stopped all those HPF messages!

I don't even have a T valve just a shut off valve right at the hull. I will probably just run some water down the exit for starters.
