Spare Tire Mount Installed

**Jerry Bryant** · 09-29-2018, 11:42 AM

After four attempts I finally got the right rim to set up a spare tire for my Bass Tracker PT175. I ordered the Fulton spare tire mount. In order to get the tire away from the boat, I had to place a 1/2" piece of hard plastic between the mount and the outside of the boat trailer. It is done and I am happy with it.

Looks good and I hope you never have to use it !
When I would take the longer road trips I would have one trailer mounted and would carry a "spare" spare just in case.
Looks like you are ready to go and just in time as the weather starts to cool off a little.
Best of luck to you.

Looks good, I too take a spare spare when going a distance. If one of the tandem tires goes it usually takes the other at the same time or shortly after

Looks great! I went years without a tire issue. Then bam! had three nails/flats right in a row. Check that your jack will work on your trailer before you need it. I also threw a cross shaped tire iron behind the seat to speed up removing the lug nuts on side of road.

Great looking spare set-up, just in time for weather cooling and fishing picking up

I think you need 2 spares minimum, and 3 for extra safety.

Not a bad idea Brett!!!

Like my Dad always said, "2 wheels, 2 spares. 4 wheels, 4 spares."

And the Boy scouts motto,
" Always be PreSpared"

I have one mounted on my trailer, but when I travel to Florida I carry 2 spares and 2 sets of hub assemblies.

Finally got the piece I ordered to give more space between the spare tire and boat. Moved it up as far as I could. Due to size of tire and the depth of the boat I could not put it near the bow. Name: 1101181156.jpeg
