Brakes
Reliable trailer brakes are essential for towing safety, especially when hauling boats over long distances or on steep ramps. From worn pads and seized callipers to faulty electric braking systems, we inspect, service and replace all components to ensure your trailer stops smoothly and safely every time you hit the brakes.
Lights
Trailer lights aren’t just a legal requirement—they’re critical for road safety. At Don's Marine Repairs, we repair or replace faulty wiring, broken lenses, corroded plugs and water damaged fittings to keep your trailer visible and compliant. Whether it’s a flickering brake light or a full rewire, we’ll get your lighting system back in order.
Bearings
Worn or dry bearings can lead to serious damage and even wheel failure if left unchecked. We clean, repack and replace bearings as needed to ensure your trailer wheels roll smoothly and safely. Regular bearing maintenance is essential, especially for boat trailers exposed to saltwater and long distance travel.
FAQ
How often should I service my boat trailer?
Boat trailers should be serviced at least once a year or more often if used frequently or exposed to saltwater. Regular servicing helps prevent issues with brakes, bearings, lights and structural wear, ensuring safe, reliable towing.
What are the signs that trailer bearings need attention?
Common signs include grinding noises, heat around the wheel hub or wobbling wheels. If left unchecked, worn bearings can seize and cause serious wheel damage. Regular greasing and inspection help prevent unexpected failures on the road.
Are trailer light issues usually electrical or water related?
Often both. Water exposure, especially saltwater, can corrode connectors and cause shorts or failures. Faulty wiring, damaged plugs and poor earth connections are also frequent culprits. Waterproof fittings and routine checks can help minimise problems.
