aranzuglia 0 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi there, I just bought a Noelex 22 and the jockey wheel is stucked. When I rotate the lever the wheel rotates with it, seems there is lots of rust as there is no cap on top. I'm thinking in buying an extra-heavy duty jockey wheel, rated at 550kg. Is it too much? Can I go with one not so heavy duty? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 162 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I wouldn't think you would need one that big. Trailer sailers are usually pretty well balanced with their weight over or just forward of the axle. i would think something in the 200-250kg range would be more than enough. This looks as good a place as any: http://www.trailerpartsnz.com/product_info.php/jockey-wheel-swivel-mount-p-2105 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aranzuglia 0 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi, thanks for your suggestion. Certainly will consider a smaller one. Not sure why I haven't received an email on your reply. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,230 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Most car tow bars only want about 50kg of down force. A 200KG jockey wheel is still large for a boat that size - but enables 2 guys to stand on the bow while rigging!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
