Gents - Need some help with how to mount a spare tire to my Sport Trailer. Bought the boat back in June and it didnt have a spare. The trailer has a beam welded into the frame to support a spare laying down on the beam. Can someone help with how this mount works. I assume there is a U bolt of some kind to secure the tire into the mount, but I am looking to lock it up too to make sure it doesnt get stolen. Any guidance/suggestions greatly appreciated. Here's a pic - hopefully several of you have the same setup and suggest a mounting solution. Thanks! <BR> <BR>hmmm, cant get the image to load... <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Camassanger on November 28, 2009) <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Camassanger on November 28, 2009) <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Camassanger on November 28, 2009)

That mount uses 2 long bolts....Its a bad place, I have same trailer, so I went and bought this mount bracket for the side of trailer, it takes now about 3 minutes to get spare not 20.

I used one of the universal tire mounting kits. Basically just a ubolt. It has a lock on one end, but i didn't even put that on. Didn't fit perfect, but the tire hasn't gone anywhere. Great location for the spare I think...out of the way.

I also used one of the brackets adding it to the side.....bought this in black
