Your boat trailer is the most efficient way to get your boat to the lake or the river. If you need to move your boat back and forth, you need to make sure that your trailer stays in good shape. However, you could run into some problems because a trailer is susceptible to the same wear and tear that a vehicle is. Problems with your trailer tend to start small and grow larger over time. As long as you don’t ignore the problems, you should be able to get them remedied fairly quickly and for a reasonable price. However, if you ignore the problems, they will grow into bigger issues, and you’ll have to spend more time and money getting them fixed. Here are some signs that you need boat trailer repair.
Shaking or Rattling
If you are driving with your boat on the trailer, it should be very stable, but a lightweight trailer will bounce around a little bit. If you go to us, you can see examples of lightweight and heavyweight trailers. If the trailer shakes or rattles while you are driving, you could have an alignment issue, similar to a problem you might have with a car. You could also have some kind of issue with your tires. You should contact boat trailer repair specialists to help you. Don’t wait and assume it will get better on its own.
Resistance
Some people have noticed that their trailer offers resistance when they are trying to drive. That resistance could be from several different sources. If you have brakes on your trailer, they could be engaging unintentionally. Also, some kind of rust could be reducing the effectiveness of the tires.
