Boat Trailers
Preparing a trailer for boat transport is just as important as securing and inspecting the boat. A boat trailer in poor condition can severely damage the boat and towing equipment, as well as pose threats to the safety of the driver and others on the road. In order to prevent possible dangers and extra costs to the boat owner, a properly inspected boat trailer is a must. Keep your trailer well-maintained and ready for the road ahead with these boat-trailer guidelines.

Boat trailer overall condition
Tires, wheels and hubs: Some wear-and-tear on any vehicle's tires is normal, but make sure that the tires on your boat trailer are ready for a long haul. When in doubt, replace old tires. Check for proper inflation pressure for all of the tires and keep a spare tire handy. Carefully inspect wheel bearings - any bearings that haven't been recently replaced or serviced could result in a breakdown. Inspect hubs and turn drums if necessary.
Lights and signals: Towing a large load on a trailer is quite a task, so do yourself a favor and be sure that that all the lights, brake lights, turn signals and electrical wiring on the boat trailer are in working order for the safety of everyone on the road. Check wires and lights well before the date of transport to ensure that any necessary repairs will be completed on time.
Boat Trailer tire registration
Your dealer should provide you with any forms required to obtain a trailer and tire registration, which is required by federal law. To obtain watercraft and trailer registration forms for your state online, visit www.DMV.org. You can also find information about license plates for your trailer at the Department of Motor Vehicles for your state.
