Not going to lie, there are definitely some concerning pictures posted on here for sure. We have 5 Mycos currently (2007, 2010, 2012, 2016, and 2018) with I would guess 40,000+ miles between them and have not seen any of these issues. These pictures on here will definitely have me keeping a close eye on the welds. Especially on our cruiser trailer, as the gross weight of boat and trailer is around 20,000 lbs and we trailer it all over the place.
I do like some of the reinforcing that Broward is doing to prevent these issues.

What was their response? I have a new Myco coming under my new 32 Doug Wright and having spoken with them about several things I wanted on the trailer, both of which were messed up, I have a pretty bad opinion of the people working there....

Like with any forum, this is a focused based website. I'm sure Myco has thousands of trailers out there for the few failures that have been shown here. I'm in the fab business and sooner or later aluminum will fatigue and break. It's not if, it's when. My trailer probably has 50 or 60 thousand miles on it since 2014 so mine gets used more than most. One thing I found out last year is Myco doesn't use off the shelf axles, they spec their own axles. If you need parts, I recommend going to Myco and not a website for parts so you get the right stuff the first time.

Looks like the cross beam cracked like mine but split downward, mine was only by the axles,guess the weight bouncing,They said ad gusset/brace to not flex in the center of C,ive got a the pdf. bet its from the long nose,weight making it bounce down the road, flexing in that span, or maybe it the weld.
Browards pick cross beams are n the bottom of the side channel,

Now to find a place near central ohio to fix it.

Thanks a million, Rob! Trailer looks great, not that I'd expect anything less from one of your rigs.
