Trailering Checklist
Check your state laws to be sure your trailer meets
all regulations, such as proper licensing, brake,
axle load, and safety chain requirements.
Check trailer for any loose fasteners or damaged
parts.
Check tires for proper inflation.
Check wheel bearings and wheel lug nuts before
each trip.
Check tail, brake, and turn signal lights for proper
operation.
Secure the bow of the boat to the trailer with the
winch line and also with the chain. Secure the
stern cleats to the trailer with tie-downs.
Take down and store the bimini top, if used. The
top is not designed to stay unsecured on the
Skeeter boat at highway speeds.
Carry a spare tire for the trailer, along with
sufficient tools to change the tire.
While traveling, check the wheel hubs on the trailer
whenever you park. If the hub feels abnormally
hot, have the bearing inspected before continuing
your trip. On longer trips, it is a good idea to carry
a set of spare wheel bearings, seals, and races.
When making a turn, do not cut corners. The trailer
has a smaller turning circle so it turns more sharply
around the corner than the towing vehicle.
Before backing your trailer into the water,
disconnect the light plug from the towing vehicle.
This will reduce the likelihood of the lights blowing
out when submerged.
