I had an unusual experience this weekend towing the boat.
My airbags have been leaking, and I know I need to replace soon. I have a pump and gauge I installed when the compressor went bad, so I just manually fill as needed. Ironically, if I keep the height up a bit, they don't leak and work fine for quite some time.
Anyway, towing this weekend I had sag that got worse as I traveled. Trip started with good height, but just got lower as I went. Pressure was up, so no significant leaking, but even if I tried adding air the rear end was essentially bottomed out. Could this be due to the age of the rubber and it just not being stiff enough to do the job anymore?
