We are getting new tires either way, but I would like to know is there a simple way to check this MOR/Ryde system for alignment and other factors that could have caused this.

I've trailered many a boat in my day and realize it was most likely the old tire but I want to make sure so I don't ruin the new ones.

You may be able to get some tech advice on alignment from the
www.silveravion.com site, or possibly MOR/ryde. Ours had a suspension carrier weld failure to the frame rail that caused a negative camber of the steer side wheel set. We had a local welder fix after the tires were removed and the suspension carrier was pulled back into its original position. I expected odd tire wear afterwards but there was none.
Barring any special equipment I would make up a straight beam and offset pointer tool to confirm wheel alignment (toe in/out, and camber. Simple hand measurements can be a highly effective way to measure alignment parameters.
