BOAT TRAILER SERVICE

  • Boat-trailer-2
  • BASIC TRAILER MAINTANIANCE WILL KEEP YOU ROLING WITHOUT SUDDEN EXPENSES.
  • Regularly inspect the trailers running gear: Tires, Wheels, Brakes, Springs, Coupler, for wear or corrosion.
  • Make sure Lug Nuts are tight, and tires are at the correct inflation pressure.
  • Check the Bunks, Rollers, Guides, for correct attachment and fit.
  • Check the Coupler for smoother operation & locking when closed.
  • If towing at night or on the open road, make sure the trailers lighting is working as it should.
  • A WELL MAINTAINED TRAILER WILL PROVIDE YEARS OF BOATING SERVICE.
  • Rocket Trailer in S/W Florida, is a great source of parts and service for this area of Florida.
  • ALLWAYS RINSE OFF YOUR TRAILER, AFTER SUBMERGING IN SALT WATER.
  • Make sure to rinse off the wheel/hub area, and springs if your trailer is equipped with them.
  • Checking the amount of grease in your trailers hubs, is a good practice and preventative maintenance.
  • Trailer hubs with spring caps, allow you to add grease to the hub & monitor how full the hub is.
  • Hubs with grease zerk fittings, (behind rubber cap, in photo) allow grease to be added into hubs directly.
  • Be careful not to over grease your trailer hubs, as this extra grease can push out the inner hub seal.
  • Regular attention to the hubs & lugs, will help to prevent bearing failures when trailering.
