I live in a rural area and have 12 miles of dirt which has a lot of corrugated spots. A month ago I towed my boat home from the x owner place and did some damage [ broke two tie down straps and the eye bolt that go to the winch came off and the boat ended up cork screwed on the trailer.<br /> Is there any way I can make the trailer ride softer? It is a single axel with 13'' new low profile tyres leaf springs the boat is a fiberglass 16'The Shire will not grade the road for at least three more months. Any advice wii be greatly recived. Thanks Don

Re: crappy road

You state your trailer sports low profile tires, which suggest and short sidewall, low profile tires tend to ride harsh, maybe a tire with taller sidewall will help, since the tend to soften the ride, in addition maybe upgrade the transom straps and add a bow tie down strap from bow eye to trailer frame.
