Question:
I broke a slipper leaf spring on my John boat trailer. Not sure what the old springs were rated for, but its a 14foot aluminum v-hull. Is a 1000lb spring too much? It has a stamped U-shaped axle. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The lowest rated trailer leaf springs we offer are for 1,000 lb axles like the slipper spring part # SP-177275. This might be a little stiff for your boat but would still work great. This is a very common spring for smaller boat trailers like your so it would be a great solution.
If you needed a hanger kit you'd then want the part # APS3SE and you'd be set.
