Was checking over the trailer today in prep for a trip next week. Last year, a guy in our club had his shock mount tear out through the frame, so I took a look at mine today. Here's what I found.

Those are cracks extending horizontally from the bolt.

After grinding off the paint and beating it flat...

I welded the cracks, then welded up a 7x3 inch doubler. Should keep it together.

The other side was cracked also, though not quite as bad.
