Hi Larry,

Congratulations on becoming the owner of a Rhodes 22!

For all things for the original Rhodes trailer such as the bearings, you may want to contact the builder of the trailer, https://www.triadtrailers.com/.
Walmart has LED lamp kits for trailers that fit. I'm sure that they are fairly standard.

The stainless steel mounts may have been used for life line mounts. Alternatively, they may have been for a bimini to provide shade.

The attachments to the trailer are probably for winter stands or swing down wheels to support the trailer from tipping when on the hard.

I'd rather be sailing :~)

Hi Sailors,

August of this year I saw a 1990 Rhodes 22 at an online auction. I checked
out the Rhodes 22 website and learned what I could. Looked the boat over
during in person viewing. Joined the online bidding and bought the boat for
a price I could not refuse.

I never met the seller, so I will be posting questions about my boat that
many of you hopefully will have the answer to.

It needs some attention, I'm starting with the trailer bearings and
lights/electrical. Can anyone give me part numbers for the wheel bearings
and races?

Attached are pictures of items that I do not know what they are for. The
first one is on the starboard side behind the winch and cleat. What is this
round chrome pipe/stud for?

The second items are two "hat section brackets" on both sides of the rear of
the trailer frame. They are on the frame forward of the vertical bracket
that holds the tail light. They are about 1 3/8" high by 1 1/8" wide. If you
look into one bracket to the other bracket on the other side of the frame
they are somewhat inline. It looks like it might be for a tube to go from
side to side. The brackets have a hole in the top of them possibly to pin a
square tube in place. I did not get anything with the boat that looked like
it would attach from side to side.
