Tips for safe boating and long term trailer performance;
* Flush your bearings with marine bearing grease very regularly.
* Be aware that when you submerge a hot hub into cold sea water the contraction will suck water into the hub.
* All Braked Spitfire Trailers come with self purging bearing design axles.
* Keep lubrication up to winch cogs.
*If a Jockey Wheel becomes tight to wind, dismantle and re-grease the worm drive.
* Ensure you connect a safety chain from the winch post to the Bow Eye in case of winch failure.
* Check nuts and bolts before every trip and ensure wheel nuts are correctly tensioned.
* Ensure your boat is correctly secured from the bow eye in a backward direction to the draw bar adjustable tie down bracket. This will prevent forward momentum of the boat from the trailer in the event of a frontal collision by the towing vehicle.
* Do not over tighten ratchet straps as they can pull tons of torque and this can flex the trailer and effect the towing stability.
* Never use hard fixed chains and a turn buckle. Some flex is normal in an aluminium trailer. Use rope or a material which absorbs shock. Using a tight chain will transfer any stress and vibration to the weakest point of the trailer.
* Check for any damage to the chassis
* Never exceed the ATM or the Tare and Load weight.
* Ensure your load is balanced and that approximately 10% of the total weight of boat and trailer is on the tow ball of the towing vehicle.
* Too much 'Ball weight' will cause steering difficulties on the towing vehicle.
* Too little 'Ball weight' will cause 'Fish Tailing' which is an extremely dangerous condition which will certainly lead to loss of steering control of your vehicle with probable deadly results.
* Trailers for sale by Spitfire Trailers Australia are new trailers and manufactured entirely from new parts and materials.
* Genuine Spitfire Trailers only use anodised Aluminium and 316 Stainless Steel Metals.
