Our Boat Trailers
What size boat trailer do I need?
The size of trailer you need depends on your boat’s overall length, beam and weight. A properly sized trailer supports the keel while distributing the weight evenly across rollers or skids. Choosing the right trailer size ensures safe towing, reduces stress on your vehicle, and makes launching and retrieving much easier. Getting expert advice is important because even a small mismatch can affect safety and performance.
How do I maintain a boat trailer?
Maintaining a boat trailer means regular checks and cleaning. Always rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent corrosion. Check and adjust tyre pressure, grease the wheel bearings, and inspect rollers, bunks and the winch cable. Don’t forget to test your trailer lights and brake system frequently. Good maintenance keeps your trailer roadworthy, extends its life and ensures stress-free trips to the ramp every time.
What’s better, rollers or skids?
Both rollers and skids have benefits. Rollers are ideal for heavier boats because they make launching and retrieving easier, while skids provide more continuous hull support and are often used for aluminium boats. Your choice will depend on hull design, boat weight and where you typically launch. For example, shallow ramps may work better with skids, while steeper ramps suit roller systems. The right setup gives you smoother handling and reduces wear on your hull.
