Ok so i decide to take out the boat last saturday. I get the boat all ready but when i step back i notice my whole boat is on a "gangsta lean" and im like hmmm... so i look and what do you know flat tire! So i assumed that it was since i didnt take it out for a month that it might of lost air.. So i turn on the shop compressor and fill the tire up. It fills up witn no leaks. Then when i go to put on the cap i notice when i move the valve side to side its shooting air out of it..
Now the question is...
It looked dry rotted, but the trailor and boat and the whole thing is like 5 months old. Did salt water eat away the plastic on the valve stem? weird.
On a better note i just jacked it up and the tire shop didnt even charge me to put a new valve on it and its fixed now.. It was just weird that a NEW part would go bad so soon.
