In my experience it's most often tyre pressure being too high. These boats weigh very little and the tyre pressures we are used to are generally what's needed to carry much heavier loads which leads us to over-inflate the tyres on our cat trailer tyres.

Try reducing the pressure to the lowest safe alternative, sometimes noted on the tyre itself.

If the trailer has 'leaf' springs, you could try lubricating those as well.
