I'm going to store my boat on a trailer for 5 months. Will I have flat tires when I come back? It's a dual axle trailer that is holding a 25 foot Rinker cabin cruiser that weighs 6000lb.

F you place the stub axle on a block (axle stande etc), the tyres will naturally loose pressure but little harm will come to them EXCEPT aging. A tyre that is over 10 years old, should NOT be on the road as it is not safe anymore!

As long as the tyres are good, it will be fine. I checked mine after 4 years and went went from 75psi to 25psi, that surprised me! I will now check once a year. I have a 12 volt operated tyre pump.

SOURCE: balt 25 ft cabin cruiser batterys

To locate the batteries, all you need to do is follow the large red cable from either the starter motor or the battery switch. In both cases they will lead you to the battery.

I have been in the boating business for a long time and never heard of a manufacturer named Balt. To verify who built your boat, look for the Hull Identification Number. It is a 12 digit combination of letters and numbers located on the transom, or back of the boat. All boats built since 1973 are required to have this number. Once you have the HIN go to this link:

www.uscgboating.org/recalls/mic_database.htm

At this website you can enter the HIN and find the name and address of the manufacturer.

SOURCE: how do you replace the fenders on a dual axel

you will have to first take the tires off. and then cut the fenders off. either with a torch, or cut off wheel tool.

and the new ones either get re-welded. or rivet or bolt them on.

SOURCE: When traveling on flat surfaces,

The most likely source of the noise is your front wheel bearings or the front springs for the suspension. Each front wheel has an inner and outer wheel bearing which is sealed but can develop noise over time. If you can, block up the scooter and spin the wheel in the air. If you hear noise it is either a noisy bearing or you need to remove the wheel and grease the spindle (axle) the wheel is mounted to. The wheel bearings need to be punched out and replaced with the same size bearings from the manufacturer or a bearing store.
While the scooter is off the ground check the steering linkages and spray lubricate them. Also, lubricate the springs and anything else that moves or pivots. If the steering tiller squeaks at the head tube frame (steering column) upper or lower bearings you have a more technical repair. That involves loosening the lock-nuts for the steering column dropping the lower front frame assembly to either repack with grease or replace the bearings. You would also have tor remove the upper tiller assembly and get it aligned on reassembly.
You should be able to hear and isolate the noise once you have the front end blocked up off the ground. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: I'm installing the Pyle plcd33mr in my 1996 rinker

The trick is find the adapter which plugs into the original radio's harness. In the automotive world, these adapters are vehicle specific and readily available. The adapter plugs into the original radio's harness and the wires on the adapter are the same colors as the wire colors on the new after market radio's plug. So it's a matter of connecting yellow to yellow ,etc.
I was unable to locate adapters for boat radios, or radio pin outs . I would think they are available as the automotive adapters are.
I suggest you go to a local marine supply store and ask if they carry radio adapters for after market radios. You can also try doing a web search. It may work if you can come up with the name and model number of the original radio in the boat, and try a search using that info....
