Is Your Boat Trailer Safe?
As a boat owner, it's important to pay a lot of attention to safety procedures, rules and standards. Towing your boat is no different. Never move your boat from one location to another unless you first ensure the safety of your trailer. The following are questions you should ask before towing your boat:
*Are the boat supports adjusted correctly according to manufacturer guidelines?
*Is the boat positioned correctly on the trailer according to safety and other guidelines?
*Have you taken precautions against ‘fishtailing'?
*Are all trailer lights and brakes in proper working order?
