Double Check Your Boat Trailer
If you just got a new or used trailer, it’s been a while since you transported a boat, or you just completed a long distance boat hauling job – you may want to take a look at your trailer. As a refresher, here’s a list of things to check:
- Check the tires for cracks, dry rot, and air pressure.
- Grease the bearings, and check to see if the trailer has brakes
- Make sure all the bunks and rollers are in good shape. Ensure the boat is sitting properly on the trailer.
- Grease the hitch ball, and make sure the jack stays in the raised position.
- Check everything after the first few miles, or a bump stretch of road
