UPDATE on my Myco Trailer:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replaced all bearings and complete inspection by a Myco dealer in the area, I am glad I spent the $$ for the new bearings as it was getting close to needing new ones anyway. 6 new sets! $$$
SEVEN (7) New Goodyear Tires!:03:
Next is the Bunks::seeya:
I will replace the carpet-and use stainless staples, one bunk needs to be replaced-hopefully we can get this done this weekend.
I urge you guys to check your bearings and not just "add grease" every now and then-that to me is a BIGGIE and if you are not sure how to preflight the trailer before use-ASK someone who knows, I have learned a lot about this!
I can't believe some of the junk I see hauling boats around here in Florida-talk about a disaster waiting to happen!

Which bearings did you go with? Are they the US Made Timkens or some of the Chinese stuff that is out there?
I've run both, and I highly, HIGHLY recommend the Timken bearings.
Redid my carpet, and added centering bunks to facilitate loading. I got the carpet from Owens & Sons, a trailer manufacturer in St. Pete. They cut the size needed to accomodate the large cyprus bunks in back. I have dealt with them a few times on some trailer items, and Jeff & his sister are great to deal with.
Yes, removing the old staples is a pain in the azz.

New Capret, ONE new BUNK, NEW Bearings, replaced some Brake line fittings, 7 (SEVEN) new goodyear tires........My MYCO is "almost new again"
Oh-yeah and I had to replace some of the bolts on the bunks as they were bent, I think that was caused by the previous owner!
Anyway GLAD to have all that behind me---!@:sifone:

On every Myco I have seen...Once you remove the carpet the wood is cracked or broken around all the mounting points... Just get new lumber and build the bunks and recover them on the floor.... Treated lumber from Home Depot is fine..The lumber will last way longer than your next bunk/carpet job... Buying and cutting wood is easier than removing 2000 staples and recovering the old warped junk.. Jeff

Just swing by a marina with a lift or another method of pulling the boat on a Saturday morning. Leave it in the air until Monday. You can finish it up in one day. It's not that big of pain, just tedious work. Especially if you are an anal SOB like myself and everything needs to be perfect.

I just finished with my Myco trailer. Replaced bunks, carpet, bearing, seals, disc pads. Don't forget to clean all your light grounds. All of my wire lugs had the white power dust on them. Half the stainless screws broke off while trying to remove. Shine the aluminum up and add grease to each connection, keep the lights working.
