Anyone seen or used one of these
http://www.axlecrutch.com/ Looks like it might be a handy item to have in a pinch. I wonder if you could make one yourself, it looks pretty simple.

Been a boater for 40 years and always carried enough chain to tie up an axle in an emergency. Most older boat trailers didn't have spare tires or it just didn't look "cool". That would have been an easier solution. Todays trailer have such a variety of suspension not all would benefit, but in an emergency situation I would use it.
Were your boat tires loaded to 90% of the sidewall rating.
My boat was not but my 5th wheel original tires were.
In fact the trailer had a GVW of 12,000 lbs with 5,000 lb axles.
So with 2500 on the pin the axles would be at the max.
