Boat trailer maintenance is vital to the safety and enjoyment of your watercraft. If you leave your trailer parked outside in the winter, it can rust. The same is true for trailers driven on the road, which can expose them to salt. Additionally, wheels can wear down or dry rot. The electrical system can also fail and cranks may seize, adding to the list of common boat trailer issues.

Tires should also be checked regularly to ensure that they are in proper condition. If tire wear is uneven, this can indicate a bent axle or out of alignment. When tires are over six years old, you should consider replacing them. A tire DOT code will tell you when the tire was manufactured. Make sure you check the DOT code to make sure it is in good shape.

Another component of a boat trailer that needs repair is the loading mechanism. Rollers and slides are common, but there are also hydraulic lifts. Rollers are usually rubber and allow the boat to slide under a winch. The winch can be manual or electric. A hydraulic lift can slide under the boat to make it easier to load.

Boat trailer maintenance is especially important if you own a large boat. Heavy-duty trailers usually have more runners, rollers, and mechanical brakes. This means that the axles are more complicated and require more parts. It is advisable to have a professional inspect your boat trailer annually. You should also inspect the chain links and cables for signs of rust.
