    On a similar subject: If you have a tandem axle trailer and a tire goes bad, can you remove the wheel and tire and continue on just three wheels?
    Usually. You have to chain or strap the bad axle to the frame to get the weight on the other axle because of the way the tandem works.

    I wouldnt take one wheel off and run on three wheels. Bass boats are heavy and that would have to be a lot of stress in some odd places where stress shouldnt be. I would remove both wheels from the one single axle and then go to the nearest place to perform repairs.

    yep, burned a bearing out in arkansas one time, took one of the safety chains off, strung the axle up and limped back to KY on 3, no worries

    I can tell you from experience, the best thing to have during a breakdown on the road is a credit card LOL!

    Had a blown motor on Lake Kissimmee, actually on Lake Cypress and had to use my trolling motor for over an hour to get back. It s u c k e d because i had all that time to think about how expensive this was going to be. Back then i was making $12 or so per hour and it really taxed my bank account!
