Trailer care for safe towing and easy launches

A trailer takes the same abuse as the boat, often with less attention. This section covers wheel bearings, tires, lights, brakes, winches, bunks and rollers, plus rinsing after saltwater use. You will learn what to check before each trip and how to recognize wear that needs repair. Make sure the trailer matches the boat and your tow vehicle, secure the load properly, and have a professional handle bearings, brakes or frame damage if you are unsure.
