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.Attachment 320623Attachment 320624Attachment 320625

Looks good. Hope it never has to come off. But at least you ready. Make sure your jack will work on the trailer and a lug wrench.
All good stuff here. theysaid I got to remember to check the pressure in the spare from time to time for deflation from the elements outside. Better safe than sitting on the road cussing! :highfive
Now get it on the road and go fishing!:biggrin
