What if you
 
Get a flat on your trailer, you plug it but now how do you air it back up. You air compressor isn`t going to reach 20' from the truck!

You've got way too much time on your hands!

phragle 10-22-2014 12:05 AM

Well, I guessing you took it off to plug it... roll it upto the pump.......

Just a little side note on plugging tires and I don;t think this holds true for bias trailer tires.

I have been big time tire plugger for 20 years and especially for about 10 of them as this town went crazy with construction for a while and every other day there was a box of screws sitting in the middle of the road that fell off someones roof.
So back to the point. I was told by a very knowledgeable person that has been in the tire manufacturing biz along time that todays tires do not do well with plugs. They laminate the plys differently nowadays and a plug will allow air to flow between them and it will cause the tire to delaminate between the plys.

So if you have a tire that is worth a chit when it gets a hole in it you should really have it patched from the inside instead of a plug.

I have never had a trailer tire get a flat without trashing it anyway.

SkiDoc 10-22-2014 05:28 AM

I use my jumper/starter that I can keep in my truck.... I've used it a bunch of times as it has a cigarette lighter plug. Getcha one!
I like the way you think though.

Exactly!!

BUT I did put a air adapter on the back of the 650- Now I just need 50' of hose

What if you: stay focused on getting your boat back together, "maybe"? it'd be ready by springtime.:D

Ballistic Beak 10-22-2014 12:51 PM

So should I patch this one, or will a plug suffice?

Black RTV.

Red is actually better but won't match the tire well.

I'm pretty sure the Right Stuff was made for that application.

As for the original question. I actually have a little hose Tee'd into my boats exhaust/muffler compressor. Lift the engine hatch pull out the hose. It's only 1/ 4" that is attached by Legris fittings so it takes up no room. It's convenient for topping off the tires when no compressor is around.

paintman 10-22-2014 08:23 PM

Just rotate tire ..its only flat on the bottom , sheesh man easy fix errr what

You do see the picture right? :D

MILD THUNDER 10-22-2014 10:19 PM

I like it. Also, it makes a great charging station for your device when doing brake job, bearing greasing, etc. Or, plug in that 12v mobile penis pump you have.

mike tkach 10-22-2014 11:08 PM

:lolhit::lolhit::lolhit:12 v penis pump.

I'm thinking your avatar is distracting him from the obvious... BTW, nice work!

Sydwayz 10-23-2014 07:06 AM

I can change a tire quicker than a 12V compressor can re-inflate a flat.

Conversely, I have a coiled air hose off the compressor on my truck (for airbags and and train horns). I can reach the whole truck with it, and the spare mounted on the trailer. I also often carry a 5 gallon air can. Either option is quicker than a 12V K-Mart compressor.

Yes, you wired a female cigarette adapter to your trailer. I guess I would have a problem if my boat wasn't on my trailer..

Someone was looking for LED light ideas....

Cole2534 10-29-2014 06:01 AM

So how often do you replace fuses now? About every time you hit the boat ramp?

ICDEDPPL 10-29-2014 08:24 AM

It wouldn`t blow a fuse if it had constant power , just like the old non sealed light when they were under water but I wired it to the marker lights anyway.
