Question about Trailex SUT-200-S canoe trailer...

I just picked up a Trailex SUT-200-S canoe trailer last night. It seems to work ok when hauling a canoe, but it's a vibrating beast when empty. Wheels & bearings are fine, and tire pressure is the recommended 15psi. And the axle has been adjusted to be 90deg from the center beam.

Any thoughts on how to make it ride better when empty?

And if any of you have one of these, could you tell me where you've placed the axle? Mine is at 124" from the ball.
 
Those things are so light it doesn't take much of a wheel imbalance to cause hop/vibration. Not sure if you can balance those tiny wheels/tires but that's the likely culprit.
 
You're right. And if the thing has been sitting for a while the tires could have gotten a flat spot. I have my work cut out... But I do love it.
