BOAT TRAILER SERVICE
- 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.
- Although not as appealing as your boat, a solid trailer is a very important component to your boating enjoyment.
