Trailer suspension units for a R21...

The suspension and brakes on my trailer have seen much better days.

The boat is a Ring 21C with a 200 Merc V6, and the trailer is a twin axle job. What weight rating should I go for? Am I right in thinking that as they come in pairs, 2 pairs of 750kg axles will be able to hold 1500kg? How much does a fully rigged Ring weigh?

Cheers

Paul

Ah cool, the trailer's a simple box section galvanised jobby so it can't be that heavy. Cheers for your help

My 21C with a 2.4 bp is on a single axle trailer. It's been up and down the M27 at 80 many a time without any probs.....apart from 3 points!

I have to say Burty I thought M&A were excellent value when I replaced the axles on the Phantom trailer

I just had a quote with a great price from Meridith & Eyre for 4 750kg direct replacements for my units. Cheers Burty!

Thanks for the suggestion Freddy but I need independent units for my trailer

Another bargain found by asking on here
