I have a 2009 ice castle I just bought this year and went to put it away for the winter and when I hooked it up and went to move it the left wheel will not spin. The last time I had it out was probably about a month ago and everything worked fine. Does anyone know what my most likely issue is and how to fix?
Does it have trailer brakes, and what type, surge or electric. Or it could be a rusted/ frozen bearing spindle in which case at very least a new bearing job including races and seals.
It came loose after and cranked the fish house up and down. It’s an electric break system. Obviously though I want to fix the problem now so it doesn’t get worse and happen again.
I would guess that it is something with the brake. It could probably use some maintenance and some new parts, they get rusty. I redid mine a couple of years ago. The adjusters on the bottom that spreads the pads were seized and needed to be replaced.
Electric brakes are a different animal. They use an electromagnetic puck that contact the inner face of the hub. Your wheel off the ground should rotate smooth and freely. I would inspect bearings and check inner face of brake hub for corrosion. One last thing with the brakes, there should be a breakaway cable, make sure it’s in the travel position and not tripped.
