The Importance of Maintaining Your Boat Trailer
There are two types of boat trailer owners. The one who puts their boat in the water in the spring, parks the trailer in the yard, and then pulls it out in the fall. And then there’s the owner who stores the boat on the trailer, and pulls it in and out of the water all season long.
For either scenario, the boat trailer is subjected to constant weather, sun, critters, and wear and tear.
So what is required to maintain your boat trailer properly? First of all, the wheel bearings need to be greased every year.
Secondly, you need to maintain lights that function properly with turn signals, brake lights, etc. This requires maintaining the entire wiring harness, as well as the plug connector that plugs into the back of your vehicle. One trip down the road with your plug dragging on the pavement spells an electrical repair.
The third big item is tires. Because they sit in the sun, and are in the same position for months on end, tires crack and wear out. Furthermore, they are required to carry a very heavy load. Blowouts are bad news on your boat trailer, so a professional inspection can alert you it’s time for new rubber.
Next on the list is your winch. This is just a matter of inspection and some lube to keep it functioning as it should. Double check the clip that secures the cable to the bow of your boat is working as it should.
Inspect smooth operation of the coupler that clamps down and connects the boat trailer to the vehicle hitch. A simple lube job can be the difference between smooth operation, and failure.
At this juncture, make sure your safety chains are in working order. There’s a reason why every trailer has them. For everyone’s safety, and your peace of mind, make sure you’ve got a good back up connection to your vehicle.
What is the condition of your trailer jack Everyone’s seen a trailer where the jack wasn’t up all the way when the truck started driving away. It gets bent. If your jack isn’t operating properly, get a new one and look like a pro.
Other components of boat trailer maintenance are the bumpers and rollers. Keep rollers lubed and adjusted to meet the boat bottom perfectly to distribute your boat’s weight and so you can load and unload with ease. Keep your bumpers up to snuff to protect the fiberglass of your boat, and to direct your boat to the sweet spot when loading.
Trailers for larger boats are equipped with trailer brake systems. Make certain your brakes are in working order at the start of every season for safe and easy transport.
Lastly, what is the condition of your trailer’s paint? Keep rust at bay, and look great going down the road with a solid paint job on your trailer.
As you can see, there are quite a few aspects to how to maintain your boat trailer properly. If you follow the boat trailer maintenance items outlined here, you will likely have no problems at all.
