Reacreational Boating for boaters who love boating, want to find other recreational boaters, boat forums, boats for sale, boat photos, and boating destinations

Allright everyone the newyear is upon us, and it's time to start getting these boats ready for summer!

When you get started don't forget the trailer needs some love too. It's time to have the bearings checked, repacked or replaced if needed.

Check all of the wiring, and lights, it's cheaper than and accident, or ticket.

Check the springs, and suspention. Check the brakes, including the condition of the hoses. (The inner workings should have been checked with the wheel bearing service)

Also don't forget to check the frame for damage, and last but not least check the bunks, and carpet, or rollers.

If you are not mechanicly inclined, take it to your dealer, or a good service facility and have it done. Nothing will ruin a weekend of boating like a broke down trailer.

Happy boating,

Captain Stan!

Oh, almost forgot. Check the tires! Tread depth, dry rot, and AIR PRESSURE. (Pressure should be chacked before every trip, along with the lights, and a visule walk around of the whole rig)

what should the PSI be in trailer tires?

The PSI on the trailer tires should be the same as ALL tires, it is written on the sidewall of the tire. The manufacturer went through all of the trouble of rating a tire for a certain load, with a certain PSI.
