Torque Rating for 1/2 Inch Lug Nuts on an Escort Boat Trailer

Published 02/17/2015

Question:

Hi, We need to get new tires and we do not have a manual since we bought it and the Bayliner 22 1/2 foot boat used. Can you please tell me the torque specs? Thank you very much

For 1/2 inch lug nuts like those used with tire and wheel combo # AM3S862 you will want to torque the lug nuts to 75 to 85 foot pounds.

It is important to re-torque the lug nuts after 10 miles, 25 miles, 50 miles and then monthly after that.
