Common Signs You Need Service
Spotting a trailer problem before you leave the driveway is far easier — and cheaper — than dealing with a failure on the highway or at a crowded boat ramp. Here are four signs that it's time to call a professional.
Grinding Hub Noise:
A grinding or rumbling sound from a wheel hub while rolling the trailer by hand usually means a bearing is dry or failing. Left unaddressed, it can seize completely and damage the spindle.
Trailer Lights Flickering:
Intermittent or dead trailer lights often point to corroded ground connections or a deteriorating wiring harness — common after repeated saltwater ramp use in the Inlet Beach area.
Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal:
If the tow vehicle's brake pedal feels different with the trailer connected, the surge actuator or hydraulic lines may have air or a leak, reducing stopping power with a loaded boat.
Hull Shifting During Transport:
If the boat rocks or creeps sideways on the trailer while driving, worn bunks or loose roller brackets are likely the cause, and continued movement risks hull or gelcoat damage before you reach the ramp.
