Tips by Lenville’s Marine Service
Don’t Let Trailer Trouble Ruin Your Boating Day!
At Lenville’s Marine Service, we know that the most overlooked part of boating maintenance is often the trailer but it’s also one of the most critical You can have the best-running boat in the world, but if the trailer can’t get it to the water, it won’t matter.
Key Trailer Maintenance Areas Every Boater Should Know:
✅ Wheel Bearings
These are vital to your trailer’s movement and safety. If they haven’t been serviced in a while, they should be removed, cleaned, inspected, and replaced if needed. Neglecting this can lead to costly roadside breakdowns.
✅ Wheel Seals
Worn-out seals are a common problem. If you see grease leaking from behind the hub, it’s time for a replacement. Escaping grease can coat brake components and cause a loss of braking performance a major safety issue.
✅ Lights & Brakes
Before and after each use, check your trailer lights and brake fluid. Ensure everything is working properly. This is especially important for long-distance trips.
✅ Tire Pressure
Maintaining the correct air pressure keeps your tires in good shape and helps prevent blowouts Check it frequently!
