The Overlooked Essentials Lenville's Marine Service
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!
✅ Bunk Boards & Carpet
To protect the bottom of your boat, inspect your trailer’s bunk boards and carpet regularly. Replace them if they’re worn out.
