Mobile Mechanic guides for Lake Havasu City property owners
Plain-language, local, no sales pitch. Written for Lake Havasu City and Mohave County conditions.
Why boat trailer bearings fail at the ramp
A trailer bearing does not usually fail because it is old. It fails because it was hot, then suddenly cold, then run for forty miles. Havasu does that to trailers more than almost anywhere.
