Boat Trailer Inspection Recommendations

It is always important to do an inspection before using your boat trailer. Here are just a few recommendations to help ease the process of going through your trailer before use.

Checklist before using your Boat Trailer:
• Check/Grease the Bearings
• Check your seals
• Make sure the tire pressure is set to the recommended psi (also make sure you have a spare tire)
• Torque the lug nuts to recommended sequence
• Check to be sure all electrical connections are working: Lights, Brakes, etc.
• Be sure your coupler/hook up is properly fit to your ball and mount. Always check your safety cables/chains, break away strap, etc.

(if you do not have a boat trailer and would like a quote please feel free to submit an inquirys on our website or to call us toll free at 800 258-6115)

    Aluminum wheels especially need to be torqued frequently as they tend to loosed more than steel wheels.

    I have a proline 19′ with an aluminum Loadmaster Trailer. Could I purchase replacement rubber ends?
    Please advise.

    That in Loadmaster Inc. out of Tampa, FL. We do not build aluminum trailers and are entirely different companies.

    Unbelievable experience and an absolute gem of a trailer. Just picked up my custom bass boat trailer and it’s better than i could have imagined. Great fit, ease of towing, boat is so easy to load and unload it’s just unbelievable. Always kept advised of the build times and process and great support after the sale. Forget a factory trailer, let loadmaster build the ultimate craddle for your baby. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. customer for life!
