Thank you for doing this video Mike,I believe a lot of people are going to benefit from your learning experience 👏👏💪

Really enjoy your vids and the invaluable information that you share. That being said, ( and this is just my opinion as a welder,) you probably should of had someone with a big welder sew your axle up with a 6010 root pass, and then cap it with a 7018 cover pass. That is a structural weld on that axle, meaning, your welds are the only thing between your boat and the asphalt. I hope it holds up for you. Just wanted you to know that little 120 flux core probably didn't penetrate the base metal like you think.

Can you simplify that terminology so I can understand what to do? What would those passes look like? Should I add extra brackets?

@@TinyBoatNation from what i saw i dont think the weld penetrated very far. If not rewelded... Then separate triangle flat pieces should be welded on each side and welded by a stronger welder to be a very strong bond that takes over as a main weld for the welds you did.

6010 and 7018 is just a particular welding rod used in traditional stick welding. They do make flux core welders that will weld thicker steel, but they are generally 240 volt machines. Generally you will bevel the end/s that will be welded. First weld is called the root pass to ensure penetration all the way through. Then you fill up the rest of your bevel with a 7018.

I would definitely listen to this guy and Bucky Wharton's reply. Don't want to end up on a boat fails of the week video.

Looks good. Can't wait to see the final reveal..You know, I made a step up with a cheap spare tire bracket. It was simple and works great.

thanks Frank!

Love the trailer content, next time take the boat off and flip the trailer upside down , strip it, blast it, rebuild it and spray it.

I love your videos. As a welder by trade, your skills have come along nicely. I would give you some advice. Alway weld flat if possible. I would have rotated it to weld all sides flat. That being said, you did a great job Bro! Have a blessed day.

It is a cermat carbide blade for metal

I think the leaf springs should be over the axle

I got them at shadow trailers in lake Havasu. A trailer shop should have them.

Can’t find out how to register for contest. No link I can find.

You are making a video to sedribe making a drop axle for a boat that might weigh 1000 pounds max. Just use a smaller wheel bro damn lmao
