Spare Tire Mount

I now have a spare tire (05 210CC EZ Loader) for my trailer (Some lessons are learned the hard way) and am looking for Mount recomendations. Location and Equipment.
Thanks
 
On my 170 CC the spare is mounted with dealer supplied U-bolts and a pad-lock on the tongue, just behind the winch stand but in front of the curve of the bow of the boat. The spare is mounted horizontally. With the boat on the trailer, winch strap tight, the bow just kisses the tire.

The U-bolts fit around the tongue, up through two holes on the wheel. Pulling the nuts down tight will eliminate shaking or rattleing. Really very basic. I use keyed alike locks on my spare tire and hitch latch and the pin on my truck hitch receiver. Just one additional key on my ring.

If your boat is stored outside, a tire cover would help reduce UV damage. Mine is inside so this is not a problem.

Good luck.
 
My spare is installed as Jim describes. Easy install and it is not in the way.
