Boat Trailer Parts - How To Accessorize It Wisely!

By Abhishek Agarwal


A boat trailer is something that can be very handy. This ensures that you do not have to hire a boat storage service on the water front but take your boat with you and park it on your private property when you are not using the boat. This is especially true when you are living inland far from the water front and cannot go out frequently to check on the boat or clean and carry out regular maintenance work. There are many boat trailer accessories that you can add to your boat trailer to make the transition from your home along with your boat to the water, a mite more comfortable.

There are some boat trailer accessories that you could use to secure the boat on the trailer if you are planning to use the boat trailer as your storage place instead of hiring a wet slip at the harbor to store the boat when it is not in use. One of the mail accessories for a boat trailer is the winch. This is a particular mechanism that makes hoisting the boat up out of the water and placing it onto the boat trailer.

The winch also doubles up as a locking device holding the boat fast to the trailer ready for the ride home or from the home. Ratcheting hooks or similar devices are also particularly useful to latch the boat down the trailer. These hooks enable you to tie the boat down with rope across the top and from behind, ensuring it stays on the trailer until you want to take it off.

A hitch is another important accessory that fastens it to your towing vehicle. A proper hitch will ensure that the boat does not break away and roll back down the road. You may be able to stop in time and prevent the boat from getting severely damaged in the event of a boat trailer hitch breaking loose, but many boats have gotten badly damaged for want of a good quality hitch. A good hitch will have a locking device to ensure no one can unhitch the trailer from your vehicle and tow it away while you have stopped off for a bite to eat or a drink in a motel or someplace.

Though the trailer comes with its own set of rollers you might consider an add on roller that allows for a smooth loading and unloading of the boat. These rollers are fitted on to the rear of the boat trailer and give it that much needed smooth hoist to get the boat onto the trailer rollers. Roller accessories prevent scratched and denting of boas during loading and unloading.

Last but not the least; get yourself some good chains and a set of tools. You will also need some traps to protect the trailer when you are on the boat in the water. Once you have all these accessories you are ready to take your boat with you where ever you go.

A major component of an inflatable boat is obviously the fabric. Inflatable boat fabric technology has evolved greatly over the last 20 to 30 years, and now includes plastomers, polyurethanes and other fabrics, which can sometimes be stronger, lighter, thinner and less expensive to assemble than the original rubber fabrics. Of course it costs a great deal of money to develop new fabrics or even to switch manufacturing processes to use them. Many manufacturers, big and small, don't have the will or the resources to do this, and that's why they generally hide that fact by resorting to condemning new technological advances in fabrics.


If you want to run shallow rivers, you need a jet boat. Jet boats come in different types and sizes, but they all have one thing in common � they depend on a high-pressure column of water pushed out of the engine to propel the boat. They can run in less water depth because there is no prop and lower unit hanging down to snag the river bottom. With the right boat, a highly skilled driver, and a consistent bottom, you can run in as little as two-to-three inches of water.
