Boating season is upon us, and it’s time to get your boat and trailer ready to hit the water. Adding a few boat trailer accessories in Washington state will make hauling your kayaks to the Nooksack River that much easier. Likewise, if you’re towing a catamaran to Bellingham Bay, a catamaran package will get you there safely
Different types of water-craft require different types of trailers, or accessories to modify the trailer you have. For example, a sailboat or a catamaran will need a mast stand. A sailboat or catamaran modification package can help you to tow a boat with a sail safely. Likewise, a sailboat launch package can get you into the water safely and easily.
If you are sailing in the bay or out into the Pacific, you really need to switch out the stock brakes for saltwater electric drum brakes; saltwater is very corrosive to metal, and drum brakes specifically made to resist saltwater will last much longer, as well as maintain their performance. Failing brakes due to corrosion could be fatal.
Replacing the stock hardware with stainless steel hardware is also recommended if you are towing and launching into the ocean. Once again, saltwater will corrode most metal, weakening it and causing dangerous failures. Stainless steel hardware resists saltwater corrosion ensuring your trailer will last longer.
If you’re serious about boating, upgrading your trailer is a smart move.
