Storage
When the MasterCraft trailer will not be in use for several months, the follow-
ing steps may increase the life and performance of the trailer:
• If at all possible, park the boat trailer in a protected area such as a garage,
carport or similar shelter.
• Service or re-pack the wheel bearings.
• Loosen the tie-downs and winch strap, but be sure the boat is still resting
properly on the hull supports.
• Remove the drain plug and elevate the trailer tongue slightly (just an inch or
two) to allow water to drain out so the boat will be dry. Tie the drain plugs
from the boat’s bilge system to something obvious such as the steering wheel
so that they will be easy to remember to re-install before the next outing.
• A good time to touch up rust
spots, nicks and chips is when
the trailer is in storage.
• Replace damaged tie-downs,
winch straps, wiring, etc.
• Maintain proper tire infla-
tion.
• Shield tires from UV rays.
• Relieve the load on the tires
by supporting the trailer
frame with concrete blocks
or jack stands.
• Lubricate moving parts such
as the rollers and winch, as
well as the ball coupler.
• Tighten any loose nuts and
bolts.
Trailering Tips
e trailer jack and lug wrench that came with the tow vehicle may also work
on the trailer, but don’t count on it! Check to make sure.
• e trailer will look better and last longer if it is rinsed off with fresh water
several times a year. If the boat is run in brackish or salt water, the trailer
should be rinsed thoroughly after every trip because of residual effects of the
brackish or salt water. An annual washing with a mild detergent and waxing
