Trailering Adds Mobility To Boating Enjoyment

With the development of the modern boat trailer, the man who had previously been limited to the waters nearest where he kept his boat, was able, for the first time, to pick up his boat and go wherever he wished. This heightened mobility has opened a new door for the boating family. Now boating, camping, travel and adventure can be combined in one trip.

The boatman also knows that the trailer simplifies caring for a boat between outings. Keeping the boat on a trailer at home is more convenient, more economical, and less worrisome to the mind. Storage, shed rental, and mooring or docking fees become a thing of the past. You will find that you tend to do necessary

work on the boat yourself, when it is on a trailer in the backyard, rather than pay to have it done by someone at your anchorage. Safety Advised Boat trailers can accommodate boats up to 30-40 feet; whether motor, sail, or houseboat, covering a wide selection of types and sizes

of small craft. The Evinnjide News Service advises that there are certain safety pred cautions that are common toall trailers no matter what size. The wise boatman pays close attention to these areas of trailer maintenance and operation at all times. As a result, trailering can be easy, trouble-free, safe

and enjoyable. Experts stress the need for a trailer that fits the boat it is to carry. The trailer should be long enough to support the hull, with the boat riding in proper balance; its bed should be shaped and padded to hold and brace a boat so that its hull will not sag or be subject to unnatural stress. Trailer Hitch A strong trailer hitch is a must, with the safest kind being that which attaches to the frame of your car. It is also sound practice, and a law in many states, to attach a safety chain from the trailer to the frame of the car. ) When you mount your boat on the trailer, the cen-

ter of gravity, with the motor attached and loaded with normal gear, should be slightly forward of center so that .some of the weight rests on the hitch. This will prevent bobbing of trailer and boat while on the road. A tail light will be necessary when driving at night, and some states require stop and turn signals. Many boatmen have a plug-in socket wired to the car’s lighting system to operate the trailer lights. Check Rig When traveling for any extended length of time, stop your rig occasionally and check the tie-down straps and the hitch. Sometimes the tie-downs will rub against sharp surfaces and possibly wear down enough to snap. Driving a trailer rig is easy, but it is different from driving a car; it takes a certain amount of practice. Take it easy until you become accustomed to the added weight. And remember that you are now driving what amounts to a very long car, so be absolutely certain that you know the distances and time required to pass, to turn a corner, and to stop. Backing a trailer is a bugaboo that terrifies some people. It takes a certain amount of practice, but it is really quite easy. The main thing to remember is that a trailer always backs in the opposite direction of the car. Therefore, if you want to back the trailer to the right, you have to cut the car’s wheels to the left. Backing Trailer An easy way to do it correctly, is to grasp the steering wheel at the bottom and to move your hand, left or right, in the direction in which you want to move the trailer. It will go in the same direction that your hand does. After a half hour or so of practice, you will get the feel of backing the trailer where you want it to go. You will learn the optimum turning radius for your particular rig, and how to handle it in all situations. After becoming an expert, you can join the others at the lake,

mumbling at the unfortunate who is tieing up the ramp because he never learned how to handle his rig in reverse.
